Getting rid of tree roots if it involves also removing the stump along with the roots is a highly demanding task. If one wants to get rid of a root of a nearby tree, that has surfaced and could damage property then the best way would be to simply cut it off.
If one wants to remove the stump along with the roots then one has to take into consideration the tree type as some trees have deep tree root systems and removing them would require considerable effort. Digging and cutting the roots would work only for trees with a flat root system and only if the tree is not a big one.
There are a number of mechanical implements like a stump grinder, a backhoe, a skid steer, or a vibratory plow that can be used if the tree is extra large most of these machines would have to be handled by a pro and would require you to do some hiring and renting.
One can also go for chemical removal of tree roots which involves drilling holes in the exposed roots and in and around the stump to hasten the decomposition process. This process should be used only if there are no other alternatives as the chemicals are harmful in nature and can be used only by an expert pesticide applicator. Burning the roots though it is one of the solutions is a quite risky one as the fire may get out of hand and cause damage and one would also have to enquire about fire related laws in one's area.
