OK you dig a big stump out, then what? Where are you going to put it. Where are you going to get the dirt? A raised 8 sided flower bed isn't the same as going around a smaller tree and getting smacked with branches.
I had a cherry tree blow down exposing the roots. I dug it out, cut all the roots. The roots ball was about 15 ft in diameter. A man with a large skidder couldn't even lift it. I used my backhoe and dug the largest hole in front of the root ball as I could make then rolled the mess upside down and covered it with dirt.
The way I see it, God put roots in the ground, they can rot there too.
A stump grinder won't fix the problem, when the roots under ground rot, then you will be filling the hole every year.
I prefer stump covers, you can pay to have yours ground. I'm too cheap. geo
