Rather than trying to remove the whole stump which is costly and really hard to do for a large tree, cut it down to about 4-6 inches above ground. As low as your chain saw will go without damaging the blade. Drill some holes in the stump and pour in some Epsom salts and just let it deteriorate slowly. Place a planter over it for now.
