Question

Can you use muriatic acid to kill a tree stump?

Answer 1

I have to say in all honesty here, simply call a company to stump grind.It is a quick solution to a simple problem.I know there are products available for this at say Home Depot,Lowe's,Ace Hardware but it takes allot of time/effort.

It may cost a couple of hundred but you get more "bang for your buck" doing ot this way.

My Best

Answer 2

no, Don't even think about it, that is a chemical that is used in drain cleaners and in stain removal. grind it out or chop it out. salt will destroy it over time, but will damage the grass. never pour chemicals on the ground for any reason
