Manual Removal
The most common way to remove a tree stump from your yard is to remove it using a good old-fashioned shovel. This only works for small to medium sized stumps, for larger stumps you’ll need to use the chemical method. This could take anywhere from 2 to 10 hours, depending on the size.
Chemical Method
You can use a chemical to slowly get rid of the stump if you aren’t able to physically remove it or you don’t have the time dig it out. This is slower and a lot more dangerous than digging.
