Stump removal ?
 
Has anyone used a specific company to remove a tree stump and its roots? Former owner of the house cut down a crepe myrtle but left the stump and shoots keep coming up. To complicate things, the sprinkler line is engulfed in the roots.

Thanks for the rec. I googled crepe myrtle root system last night and found out they have no tap root and only have shallow spread out runners. Took out the axe and chopped away and then dug around the stump. Then tied a 1/2" rope around the stump and pulled it out with the SUV quite easily. Easy digging in this Florida sand compared to our upstate NY hard pan. It was good exersize too and sweated out last nights Coors.
