Have a gardener cut the trees down as far as possible, then hire a tree grinder service to take out the stump and the surrounding cut roots. Back fill hole with good growing soil then plant whatever you want that fits the area. If you're going to plant cacti there then fill with a cacti mix for good drainage.

Thank you! Just what I was wanting to learn, and it appears that tree stump grinding is not particularly expensive, especially with an orange tree!
