As Zero says only need to get the roots cut off just below ground level and poison. Concrete gate posts easy too as concrete will smash off the reinforcing wire with a sledgehammer and then you can hacksaw/angle grind that off just below ground level taking them away as rubble.
Done loads of such work in the past but now we use a brilliant guy in the village who is quick and fair on prices, he has a stump grinder too.
As mentioned above do take care in case you come across the gas or water services... they can be more shallow than you think.
