  • Yes. You can do it yourself with some simple tools. First, you'll need a mattock or an ax to chop the stump into small pieces. Then, use a shovel to dig a hole around the stump and pry it out of the ground. If the stump is too big to pry out, use a chainsaw or sawzall to cut it into smaller pieces that can be removed by hand. Finally, dispose of the stump pieces by burning them or burying them in a landfill.

    Yes, you can remove the tree stump yourself. However, it's likely to be a difficult and time-consuming task. You'll need a mattock or pickaxe to dig out the stump and some sort of saw to cut the roots. You may also need a crowbar to pry apart the roots. Be prepared for a lot of hard work - it can take several hours to remove a small stump.
