Can anyone tell me where to buy some?

Next door neighbour chain sawed a couple of trees down and the root of
one
of them has grown under my garden path and is stopping me from opening
my
back gate.

I suppose my next question will be, where can I hire an adze to hack off
the top of the root, until I can kill the tree.

Just remember that you could end up being charged with criminal damage. if
you do kill the tree. You are entitled to cut the root back to your
boundary
assuming it does not have a preservation order on it but you have to give
the wood back to the owner. It might sound obvious but have you asked your
neighbour to remove the offending part of the tree?

Criminal damage to a stump?

Very much so. Even though it may appear trivial in a way it is nevertheless
criminal damage. People have been convicted for less in the past.

Go on Peter, admit it, you missed the bit where the o/p said the tree
had been felled ;-)

Withdrawn with apologies, _I_ misread the o/p's original on intending to
kill off the stump.
