If, there is no stump there is nothing to grind. What you need is called a mattock-a pick axe with a horizontal cutting blade on it. A sharpened straight edge shovel will also be helpful. You do not need to rush. You cut the roots all around the central part of the now gone bush and you will be able to pry out the central part of the root ball. The rest will quickly rot away. I expect you could hire someone to do this if you are not fit.
Like most other things-the gardeners have plenty of work now. It will be far easier and less costly if you call them in November.
