can be done by either digging, grinding, burning, or via chemical stump remover1. The process of manually digging out a stump is best for small tree stump removal. The process is labor-intensive; only attempt it if you feel physically able. It is also best for small stumps. Water the soil around the stump for one to two days leading up to stump removal.
Another way to remove a stump is by grinding it. This involves using a stump grinder machine to grind the stump down into small pieces.
Chemical removal is another option. Pouring tree stump removal chemicals into the holes drilled into the top of the stump can accelerate the rotting process in the stump.
