It finally took the truck and a few pulls to finally just rip them out. Too many years of just trying to cut them back and hoping they'd just die off allowed for the roots to be 3-4 inches in diameter.. Toe rope kept pulling off (actually skinned the bark off, but after 4-5 tries, they finally came out.


I know of some nieghborhoods that they planted oak trees not more then 4 feet from the sidewalks and the roots just buckle them up.
Sounds like some hard work GD.

They were 18 inches from the house, so yeah, they had to come out...

As for hard work, ask the big Chevy truck, it did the work, I just wrapped the tow rope around the base, the the roots a few times.

FYI for the future, if you want to kill a tree or bush that you've cut off there's a product called Tordon that will do it. It's deadly on a fresh cut.

Would it kill the butterfly bush that it had nuzzled up next/into too?

Well, the wheel was stuck, not sure there's a lot they can do about that.
