Have 45m run of double staggered Leylandii .... (no I didn't plant them)

Want to remove and plant something better ... I can obvioulsy use s

removal of the remainder.

1. Pull out stump with a trefoil such as in this video

diameter between 6 and 8 " .... assume roots will be extensive

2. Hire a stump grinder .... HSS have a 6HP model :
