[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the process is not instantaneous, the results are noticeable within a few weeks. Patience is key, but the reward of seeing those stumps vanish is worth it and we didn’t have to hire anyone to do the work.

So Far So Good
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to get rid of a sick tree in my yard and to have it professionally removed was too expensive. My husband and his friend decided that they were going to do the job themselves. They cut it down and just had the stump left to deal with when I found Bonide Stump-Out Granules. We followed the directions to a tee. It has been about a week since we applied it and you can see that it is starting to work. I will be so happy to see how this all end...

Stump Removal
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about a month ago and I’m still waiting for the final stage to bring out the stump. I’ve noticed it’s starting to dry out the stump, which is what I want. So far so good and recommend getting it for a less invasive way of removing stumps.

Great for one off stump removal
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're clearing an entire property with lots of trees, a stump grinder will likely be more cost effective. But when you have that one or two trees you need to take out all the way to the ground, this is much more cost effective and less work than grinding down. Based on the instructions, I used the entire contents for a single tree stump based on the size and let it do it's thing. Once our burn ban is lifted, I plan to get a nice little fire...

Works but a slow process
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Stump-out removal granules from Bonide work but it is a slow process. You drill couple of holes in the stump, put 3-4 granules in each hole and fill it with water and let it do it's work. It works by drying out the stump but the overall process does take time. I had put in the granules in a tree stump in my front yard about 4 weeks back and I would say the stump has started to dry out but not completely. I think it would take another 4-5 w...

Good product- works slow
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a reliable product to help degrade old stumps from fallen or cut down trees. It is easy to use and the directions are simple. It takes a while for the product to work- but I can see it is degrading an old stump in the yard. Will update once it's completely gone. Make sure to wash hands while using this product and not to get into the soil around the stump.

Hopefull
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bonide-Stump out DIY stump removal granules were used on a tree that died in our front yard. We applied the granules a couple of weeks ago and are anxious for the stump to be removed so another tree can be put in its place.

Looks easy!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can’t wait to try it! It looks easy and I really need the stump gone from my front yard. Grinding them down is great if you can afford it. This is affordable and easy to use and better than leaving the stump.

Worth the Learning Curve
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff has a bit of a learning curve as it is not just plug and play but it is worth it. If you follow the steps and are patient it will absolutely work and you'll be able to pull the stump out with your bare hands.

Great invention
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have this obnoxious tree in our backyard that is more like a humongous weed and have been desperately trying to get rid of it. We used chainsaws axes, and it still always grows back. I was excited to try this product to see if this could finally rid us of this of noxious weed, that sheds everywhere.

Easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pellets are small and scattered easily in the area I needed them. They seem like they are good quality. It dies take time for the effects to show. I believe they will do the job. Easy to open container.

Worked well for small stump
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I tried this on a small stump I had under the roof of my barn and I am waiting until a larger stump I have in my yard seasons enough to use it on that. For the small stump, which I would say was about 10 inches around and had been seasoned or cut off and dead for about a year, this actually worked very well in breaking it down to the point I could chop it to pieces. The instructions on the package are detailed and easy to follow. Once you dr...

So far it’s good
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far it’s good and seems to have worked on my on the stump I used it on, it was easy to use just follow the instructions, also it seems like it is a decent quality. I haven’t noticed the tree stump trying to grow back but that’s also going to take time to know how well it worked but for now we are happy with it and it seemed to have worked for what we needed to use it on. We plan on buying more because we have more stumps to kill. We look for...

Still figuring it out.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time using a stump removal granules. We tried to remove a stump from our yard. We followed the instructions which were kind of small and hard to read. The stamp did come up slightly but did not come out of that ground completely.

does the job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just had two trees removed at our house and this stump removal product works. I like this brand and have always had good luck with their products. Easy to use and good warnings and directions on the labels.

Seems to be doing the job
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have a massive stump in my yard that I have been slacking on getting ride of. Hopefully this stuff does the job at decomposing it so I can have an easier time getting it gone. I believe that it needs to have some time but it seems to be doing the job. Drilled some holes in the stump and followed the directions about 3 weeks ago. Stump looks to be decomposing

Stomp remover works well
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked how the stump remover works well. I put it on a tree which the roots were making problems with the plumbing. I like the idea that the granules are easy to use. I liked how fast the shipment came to my home for this item.

Great Product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stump Out DIY Stump Removal has gone beyond my expectations. I have volunteer pepper trees coming up everywhere. Unfortunately, a couple were allowed to get quite large. The 2 trees have been cut down on more than one occasion but continue to live with the need to cut back the spouts growing from the trunk several times a year. Using this product step by step per the directions has been a backsaving blessing. My stumps are gone

Great money saving alternative
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During the storms, one of our trees in the backyard fell over. We were able to get rid of the extra branches and the majority of the tree, but the stump remained. My husband used this product to get rid of the stump base. I am happy with the results and the money we saved.
