I honestly don't mean to be sarcastic, Sandy, but if you discover an "easy" way to remove a tree stump I suggest you patent that idea! You could make a fortune!

There are chemicals you could use to help speed up the deterioration of the stump and roots, but the ones I've heard about (via friends) take years and I don't have a clue as to how safe they are. You could also hire someone to ground it out but that, too, only scratches the surface. As well, it's not inexpensive. The bigger the tree, the bigger the stump and root system and the higher the cost.

My only serious suggestion is to call a landscaping business or a professional Arborist and ask for advice and/or an estimate. Again, if you or anyone else finds an "easy" way to do this, find a U.S. Patent attorney, quick, quick, quick! Good luck.

Edited update from Cindy: My bad as you didn't ask for an "easy" method, but the word "easily" was in the title of this post. My mistake for failing to remember that posters don't generate their own titles in this section of the site. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but again, if you do find an "easy" solution take a bow and a big claim to fame and run, don't walk, to that Patent Attorney's office! :-)

Editor's Note: Thanks for pointing out the misleading title, Cindy. I have removed "easily" because it isn't really helpful or accurate.

You could hire a stump grinder to do thejob. They bring in a machine that has a large diameter circular saw and they grind the stump down to just below the ground surface. You could add a chemical that burns out the remainder of the root or you could let nature finish the job over time.

We had one stump and was able to have it ground. If you have several it gets costly. A friend puts a barrel (not wood or plastic) over his stump and keeps a constant fire going - mostly coals. It takes a bit of time but it works!

It all depends on how you mean "easily", lol. For me that means picking up a phone and paying a professional to remove it. The easiest method I know of if I was removing it myself, would be to cut the stump using a hatchet and saw, or if you can take a chain saw to it and get the stump below ground level. Once below ground level cover it with salt of any kind, table salt, epsom salt or the salt you use for sidewalks and driveways. Cover over with dirt. The salt will eventually kill off all of the roots and prevent it from growing new shoots.

Good Luck!

Two trunk tree on a hill.I have a tree/weed that I need to kill. I cut it in half. It's still about 9 ft. tall and 6 ft. in diameter. I think it's a brush wattle. How do I get it gone?

Are you sure it is 6 feet in Diameter? If so how did you cut in half. If you cut the the tree closer to the ground you can hire a stump grinder. They have a saw that will cut the stump to below the surface of the ground. You should be able to find them in the yellow pages.
