There are two different ways to solve your problem. One is to speed up the rotting process of the stump by covering it with fertilizer and dig around it, piling the dirt up against the stump so that the decay has somewhere to go. Do this for the first year and then after that, continue to treat it with sugar. It is a long process time-wise, but easy on the back. The other option is to dig it out. Dig a trench around your tree stump and use an ax to cut away at any roots you find. Remove the stump and then fill in the hole with dirt.
