Depending on the species of tree, try contacting local woodturning groups. They are usually on the lookout for wood for projects, and quite often will come, cut the things down, and transport it away for free. It still leaves the stumps of course, but it does save some work!

I was thinking similar, UJ....
wouldn`t the stump make a nice fire, provided it could be moved?

One thing that I have seen, and the make a very nice object, is larger old stumps that have been lifted, hollowed out, and made into chairs. Nice focal point for the garden!

Thanks for the tipsguys, a bonfire would be great but I think the neighbours would have plenty to say. Chairs sound a good idea but I want rid of them, I have to clear the garden (to make space for more cars )

I will look into the woodturning groups, if there are any in the area.

Things are coming along nicely with the foundations in and below ground brickwork in progress at the moment.

This was meant to be the pit, but because it was below the water table level I have decided to abandon the idea. 10 tree stumps were removed from this area which meant disturbing the ground more than I had hoped, plus the pit was going here and I ended up with this massive hole so that I had a solid footing for the base.The yellow line is where the founds have still to be built up to bring them level with the ground at the front of the garage.


This is the overall size,. It looks small at the moment but once the ground has been backfilled and levelled it will start to take shape


Looking at the plans I have to now start thinking about doors. The single is about 2700mm wide and the double is about 5800 wide so no off the shelf doors for this project.
