Cut the tops off with about 4-5 ft of trunk left. Take a chainsaw and put a notch on the back side about 4-6 inches off the ground. Take your loggers chain wrap it around the tree TWICE and then hook the chain onto itself near the trunk. Put the other end of the chain on the hitch of your truck and start tugging. When it starts coming out of the ground whack the roots with an axe.
I would only put one tree in that front yard...two of any variety seems like some serious over kill for that small of an area.
