Good morning, gents. I've had these (4) Loblollies in my front yard as a circular drive for the last (9) years. Over time, these trees that I refused to cut, have now expanded to 18in diameter and it's time for them to be harvested.
If I were to remove them and then cover the area in asphalt, what is the best technique for ensuring solid ground over time? My initial thoughts are to drop them, cut the stump, remove the stump, then fill the void with compacted dirt/crusher run.
Or is stump grinding feasible? Seems like that would lead to depressions once the roots start to deteriorate? Thanks for the insight!
