I recently bought a house and had a tree cut down that's right next to my driveway, but the roots have caused some damage to my garage's foundation. The stump has been sprouting new growth for over six months, and I'm looking for effective methods to get rid of it completely. What are some recommendations for removing the stump without breaking the bank?

You might also try drilling holes into the stump, covering it with dirt, and keeping it moist. Over time, the stump will rot and become easier to break up. It can take a few months to a year, depending on the wood type and weather, though.
If you're dealing with new sprouts, hit them with some poison to stop further growth. After that, once it’s all settled, you can rent a small stump grinder to finish it off. I did this for some old oleanders, and it worked wonders!
One of the easiest ways is to rent a stump grinder. It’s straightforward and can get the job done quickly, especially if you don't want to deal with the roots yourself.
