Hi:

I have a rather large tree in my yard. About 40-50 feet tall
and around 15+ years old. Don't know what type, but it has
been referred to as a scrap tree. Best thing about it is it provides
shade over half the house.

The problem is each year the roots are more above the ground
and they have growths sprouting from them. These get cut every
time I cut the grass, but what is left is very painful to walk on.
Like a clump of toothpicks.

If I had the tree removed what would happen to the roots spread
out all over the yard? I imagine they'd eventually rot away, but would
that take 1year, or are we talking five+ years.
I can't afford to have the whole yard bulldozed & re-sodded...

~~Phil~~
