Default Removing a Tree

Hi
I need to remove a tree

It was about 3 metres high when it was full height.

It was cut a coupel of eyars back so there is only a stump there (its
about 30cm across so quite small)

I have started digging around it and have exposed one of the roots.


I have sorted several trees in my garden simply by cutting them off just
below soil level and turfing over. Some produced shoots but only for the
first season of mowing then they gave up. The largest trunk was reduced to
below soil level by firstly drilling lots of holes down into it, then
beating the remains with a big hammer.
