I recently cut down all trees n bushes at the side of mum and dads
house
How big where the trunks? how long a length we talking
for me to lay turf down, its left big stumps that iv tried rotting but
nothinks happened.
It takes a long time.
Does any one know how to get rid of the stumps plz?
Dig them out 0 unless really big. A grubbing matock is the most useful
tool here, team it with a spade, small stumps will come out just with
the mattockm for bigger oens you might need to dig round them a bit. use
the mattock to dig, round and cut the roots.
Alternatively you can get stump grinders, pull them out with a winch
etc.
Its been about 3 months since i cut the bushes down so the ground has
gone rock hard, whats will be the best way to to lay turf down.

Basically you will need to dig it over, rake it level and firm it.
