What happens here

Begin by removing existing landscape features that impede grading or are too close to the foundation. This step focuses on the challenging task of removing a large tree stump with extensive root systems. A mini excavator, specifically a Bobcat E325, is used to dig around and under the stump, exposing its taproots. A skid steer loader, an ASV RT-75 equipped with forks, is then used to lever and pull the heavy stump out of the ground. The roots are cut or broken as needed during this process.

Goal: Clear the area of a large tree stump and roots to prepare for grading and foundation work.

Tools and materials

  • Forks Attachment — Attached to the skid steer for better leverage when moving the stump
  • Mini Excavator Bobcat E325 — Digging around and under the tree stump to expose roots
  • Shovel — Clearing smaller amounts of soil around roots
  • Skid Steer Loader ASV RT-75 — Leveraging and pulling the heavy tree stump out of the ground

and mistake so today's project started out as a fairly simple landscaping project we were going to be altering the grades and that meant we had to remove some of the existing landscaping and then add on top of it to change the draw to the grade so that the water wouldn't run into the house but would run away from it but once we started to break open the ground we found some things that completely changed everything if you're just catching up go back to part one and watch that you'll see where the foundation was cracked and broken and we made the recommendation to jack the corner of the house up pull that foundation out put a new foundation in and then to set the house back down we've done that job before it's not that complicated to do but the homeowner got a second opinion and that second opinion didn't want to do anything that we wanted to do in fact what they wanted to do was to make a simple patch and repair onto the corner of the house and then have us backfill it and you're gonna see exactly what that looks like today with a piece in my hands a shot alright this stump here has got some real and the problem is we don't want to dig out too much over here because that's the footing for the fort of their addition so Blaine's going to grab the grab the ASV with the forks on it and see if we can't kind of pop it up and get at those get at the tap roots underneath [Music] Tony try to fire [Music] let's see me [Music] that body by the riverbank called a bone cell took up like a her chained wrist bad lights dogsy the whole nine yards are breathing down my neck and breathing hard weeks in a wild chase across a highways mountains over seven and the harbour said that he could see
