I appreciate this is not what you want here, but if removal is from gardening purposes why not cut the stumps level and make a bench out of them, I'm thinking of how close the walls are.. if they must be reomved its probably best that you go digging in stages, so you don't get blocks down on your head..

think stump grinder may be the way to go

might as well jump onto this thread...

removing a tarmac drive with the intention of sowing a lawn in the same area. the drive is flanked by mature hedge which will also be removed to give way for the lawn.

I would imagine needing to use an excavator and skip to remove tarmac, would it be best to get excavator to remove hedging aswell?

Any ideas on day rate for excavator/mini digger and driver?

Stump grinder is the way to go but I don't think you will get it in there so the best option for you would be to dig around them and use an axe for the roots around the edge you will find there not to deep.
Its a bit of a pain but once you work the way to chop the roots it not that hard

Make the best of your digger if you get it, hedges, trees, tarmac... all magic. Even if I hate seeing hedges and trees removed, but you don't always have a choice. Our guy managed to remove a huge pine tree very close to our old stone cottage in less than one hour, no damage done (we had a lot of open space around), cut the branches and left us a full length of the now bare tree as a jump or a bench or whatever.
We had other jobs done like drainage and everything that could be done using this digger, roughly €300 a day.
Hope it helps.

Where are you? I have a stump grinder and a crane to lift it over a wall.

wont be removing the stumps. will hire a mirco digger and digright down and cut them at the base. some compacted hardcore, mesh and 6" of cement should do the trick
