Hi - I have a small maple in the middle of my lawn that has failed to do
anything much and it must go.

If I cut the trunk (which is only a couple of inches thick) to the
base, how do I stop it re-shooting?

even if you dig out the stump, shoots can come up from what's left of
the roots. you have to make sure to murder it with a herbicide to the
stump before you remove the stump. i speak from experience.
