Default How do I kill trees when all that is left is the stump?

I've got some small trees that like to grow around my backyard sidewalk.
I've cut them off near the ground, and left no leaves at all, and yet they

Cut the stump low enough that you can mow over it.


Depending on the variety, that may only encourage more shoots rather
than killing it...
