The easiest way to get rid of a stump is to bury it and let nature take its course. Just pile dirt over it, plant the soil with ivy, vinca, daylilies, etc., or grass, and the stump will decay and disappear in a surprisingly short while. Plant roots can break rocks. They will make short work of a bit of wood. In the interval the little raised planting can be a charming decorative element in the yard.

If you want to put a little more work into it, remove the stump down as close to the soil as possible, chop off the bark, drill holes in the top or score the surface with a saw, ax or hatchet and proceed as above.

It's not very likely, but if the stump throws up shoots, you can cut them off and add soil; you can dig down and remove them, or use this inexpensive no-work approach: wet the new leaves with water or vinegar and sprinkle table salt on them, repeating as needed.
