Who cares? Those of us planning to put a foundation over the site. He hasn’t seen the idea before because he isn’t removing a stump lol.

SPOILER ALERT. He cuts if off at ground level and throws dirt over it. He doesn't actually REMOVE the stump. So if you want to actually REMOVE the stump, then skip this.

Yup, that works for me!!! I'm going to do this on my Lilac tree stump after realizing the roots are way too difficult. Thanks!

LOVE IT!!!! I will let you know how I go, hopefully, I will keep all fingers and toes lol 😂😂

I've done this with a couple of palm trees that were in my backyard positioned like goal posts. Same technique just added extra top soil to make a mound and threw some turf on top. After about 6 months, the ground eventually levelled out with healthy grass already established like it was never there.

Why bother cutting anything? I've got a mound of soil 16' high on my yard! But not a tree in sight! Can you please help me to understand why my tree removal business failed?

An old neighbor who was an estate manager told me something similar BUT with the exception of over-applying an inexpensive bag of fertilizer (think like 2 or 3 cups for your stump) to help burn away and aid a faster decomposition of the underground stump..

You are doing nothing more than burying the stump. When you plant grass you will have a bunch of mushrooms growing up through your grass which is just as unsightly as the stump. Do yourself a favor and rent a stump grinder. Remove all the wood debris and fill in the hole with dirt then seed or lay sod.

Maybe would be my answer. I have been doing this for years. By the time you cut it below the surface and cover it with dirt, I have not seen any growth from the stumps. I'm sure it's possible, but so far so good. The stump continues to rot.

I expected the tree stump to come out wasn't helpful

That doesn't really work at all if you have a bunch of small stumps sticking above the ground everywhere
