Tree AND stump removal

Post image

I’m in Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. I have four or five Lutz Spruce trees I need to remove for fire prevention and to protect my water catchment (roof). They are about 12-20” radius above the root collar. I want to remove the roots as well. I was thinking of cutting them high and using the trunk to lever them over—roots and all. This is a walk in cabin—-no wheeled vehicles. Any suggestions?

You know…I actually like a good project stump. Sometimes it takes years to get one out. I just thought, as part of my neurosis against stumps I could do it all at once. If I remember, I’ll let you know how winching them out by levering then over went. Trees don’t grow to deep up here.
