She was asking if I can come back to remove the stumps now her builder has dug them out.

Got asked the same a year ago. When I gave them a quote, they said that was to dear, and I said if you had got them ground out there would of been no cost as would have just been left on site. 

They think as we are tree surgeon we can just make them vanish.

In my early days in France, we once removed a large cedar to make way for a new sceptic tank installation.

Again, I was told the 'terrassier' would deal with the stump despite my sales pitch.

Weeks later, a call to say they got the stump out but cannot lift it onto a truck. Could I come back and grind it ?

I was running a Bandit sidewinder at the time.

In no rush to return, I breezed in at my convenience to be met with ball of clay and stump part blocking the drive which was  almost head height (O.K, I'm 167cm so at least 120cm)

 Local professional tips won't take stumps here as they cause subsidence when they eventually decompose.

Instead there is a biomass depot with a large grinder for such things if you can transport them of course.
