Tree Stump Removal Services?
Anyone who has a nasty tree stump sitting in the yard from an old tree that has died or was struck down by lightening, wants to have that stump removed. Tree stump removal can be done in different ways. There are products on the market that can be used on the stump to make the stump porous by dissolving it. This isn't too difficult. Holes need to be drilled all around the top and sides and the product is poured into each hole. The stump can then be burned in four to six weeks or it can be let to decompose naturally. Another way to remove the stump is to hire a professional to do the job.
Would salt and water kill a tree stump?
No it would not, your best bet would be to have a stump removal specialist come and do it for you. If you know about fungi then use oyster mushrooms to decompose the stump, this way is slow and takes about a year but you get fresh oyster mushrooms to eat every rain. You can burn the stump depending on where you live and how old the stump is. If its fresh it will not burn good, but if its old it'll burn up nicely and *presto* no more stump. I use the mushroom method on stumps around my place and it works great, its taken about a year and the stump is wood chips now, I have probably ate around 3 pounds of oysters :)

How do you decorate after a stump removal?
A big stump in the middle of your yard probably does not look attractive, but there are several options to consider. They sell a stump remover that you sprinkle on the stump and after it has worked you can either remove the stump yourself or burn it out. Another option is to make a table out of the stump. I have also seen a chain saw expert make an animal out of a stump.
