Had to cut down the tree that was here and now I'm not sure what to do with the space. Can't get stump removed unfortunately. Looking for any suggestions!
I had the same problem in my back yard, an old apple tree had to be cut down but we left the stump. We built a nice 3’ high planter and encompassed the stump. Filled it with soil and planted all sorts of flowers. If you don’t have sufficient sun you could always plant dwarf Alberta spruce or any kind of shade plants suitable for your area. Good luck!

Lose the stump and build a kiosk. When people show up they can get a cold drink and a bag of chips and video chat with you while you decide if they are allowed into the kingdom. Then lower the drawbridge.
Edit: missed the cant remove stump, so build over it.

That stump can be decomposed in a year. Drill as many holes as possible, fill the holes and hollow trunk with nitrogen. Cover it and forget it until spring. In spring, soak what is left and apply more nitrogen by fall or earlier no more stump.

Use the stump to hold a large bowl birdbath (shallow) or planter bowl filled with easy care flowers (million bells and angelonias, marguerites) with foliage plants around the bottom (Irish moss, silver mound artemisia, etc).
