I removed a tree stump from my back garden recently...about the same size as yours by the sound of it. After prowling around it for a while I decided that the best way was to remove it by hand. Yes it was (very)hard work but it is cheap and you can work on it as much or as little as you want...

Thats an interesting idea, hadn't thought of that. Only thing is the garden gate swings inwards towards the garage door so the whole corner would have to be sunken. Also not really sure how to build the frame to lower the deck enough to accomodate the gate? :? I guess there would still be...
