The utility company has left stumps, a few of which have large poison ivy roots attached in the front corner of our yard. There are also some runners nearby. We are getting quotes from landscapers to have it removed. One wants to dig it all out and bring new topsoil in (my preference) the other wants to spray the runners and then grind the stumps down before covering with topsoil. Wouldn't the latter be dangerous with chips of the roots around as well as the potential for the buried roots to try to spring back? The difference in price is $800. Thoughts?
