Unsure what the roots will be like but I've offered to dig these out with the mattock and make it nicely flat.

Conifers like that not usually too deep, too late now but next time if you're digging yourself then leave a stem on each stump as a lever. Nowadays I'd grind them, but you have youth on your side - just keep digging and chopping.

So today I got to revisit an old friend:     My first encounter was a year ago when I damn near cut through her in a cavity in the underside of an ash branch in a nature reserve.

A high lift jack can be handy for shrubs like that but you do need something to grab with a chain or get under with the beak.
