How to Remove a Tree Stump Manually


Dig Down Around the Stump
Dig around the stump with the mattock's broad end. Once you have loosened the dirt in this fashion, shovel it out of your way. Be prepared to clear away a lot of soil. The bigger the stump, the more earth you'll be moving. This is necessary to gain access to all the roots that need cutting.
When digging out a stump by hand, a hose or pressure washer can be helpful to wash away dirt to expose roots as you dig downward.

Sever Visible Roots
Use the other end of the mattock to start chopping your way through the tree roots. A bow saw can also be used to sever the roots as you uncover them.

Expose the Tap Root
Dig and chop your way under the root ball to the taproot. For all but the smallest of trees, taproots will be imposing enough to require cutting with an ax or large bow saw. Clean excess dirt off the taproot with a wet rag before cutting.

Sever the Tap Root
Chop through the taproot with your ax or with a bow saw. Be careful that the area is clear of people, pets, and objects before you start swinging the ax. Aim the ax carefully so that it does not strike dirt (which would dull the blade). Always wear steel-toed boots when wielding an ax.
If you're not confident use an ax , try to use a bow saw for all your cutting. It may require more digging to expose the roots, but it will be safer.

Extract the Stump
Pull the stump from the hole. This may require the use of ropes or chains, as well as the assistance of helpers or a vehicle to yank a large stump from the ground.
