If a stump has a diameter of 2 feet, what size hole is needed to remove it?

To effectively remove a stump, the size of the hole should be larger than the diameter of the stump itself. A stump with a diameter of 2 feet requires sufficient clearance to ensure that the roots can be accessed and properly removed. The recommended practice is to create a hole that is roughly four times the diameter of the stump.

In this case, given a 2-foot diameter stump, a hole of approximately 8 feet would provide enough space to work around the stump and eliminate potential issues with obstructive roots. This approach not only facilitates the removal of the stump but also helps prevent damage to surrounding vegetation and soil structure. Therefore, an 8-foot hole is the appropriate dimension for effectively removing a stump of this size.
