However, stump grinding is one of the most effective methods. Stump grinders can be rented for the project. Before you can get started, you will also need a long-sleeved shirt, pants, shoes, and safety gear such as glasses and a hat.

First, you will want to remove obstacles, this includes trimming the stump down a bit. Also remove any rocks or other debris around you. Next, start the grinder and gently lower it onto the stump. You will want to make side-to-side movement with the grinder to cut away at the stump. You may have to dig into the ground a bit and remove any roots that are still intact.
