To remove hedges from the ground, start by trimming the branches back to reduce bulk. Then, use a shovel to dig around the base of the hedge, exposing the roots. Cut through the main roots with pruners or a saw. For tougher roots, consider using a crowbar to pry them out. After the main roots are removed, pull out the stump and remaining roots. Finally, fill the hole with soil and level the ground.
