Getting rid of/removing tree stump
Hello
I've recently had my tree cut down (not sure what type - possibly fir or cypress type; really don't know) and there is a stump of about a foot and a half high and girth about two and a half feet across at the base. What is the best way to get rid of it please??
Thank you for your help
