Hello. The approach may depend on the size and tenacity of your stump.
Wack it out with sledgehammer, wedge, maul and or mattock. If its rotted it should be much easier than a new stump. Digging them out is the best solution. When we were placing an irrigation line in —we did find a reciprocating saw helpful with root removal in addition to the digging with pick ax and mattock.
In the past we’ve tried drilling out the stumps, attempting to burn them, and using a Stump out root disintegrating chemical on a large willow tree and found it not to be very helpful. On subsequent sizeable trunks we’ve been calling a professional stump grinder and having the issue over and done with in less than an hour. On smaller cedar stumps we leave them for a matter of time and hack away with sledge hammer maul wedges till it breaks up.
I did recently see they do rent out two different sized hp -stump grinders at my local Home Depot Tool rental. It can be pretty physically intense work, it’s easier to call professional unless you’re up for a challenge.
Best wishes with your tree stump elimination efforts.
We removed several cedar stumps by drilling holes in late fall, pouring in salt and then pouring in vinegar and water. Repeat every month over the winter. This breaks down the stump. In the spring we dug up the remaining pieces and discarded.
