The best way to remove the tree, is to keep 8 to 10 feet of trunk, dig around the stump and remove stump, using the trunk for leverage.
The frugal way is to cut low and grind, leaving the root ball preventing you from planting anything large enough to balance a landscape design where a tree was needed.
