There's no getting around disrupting the soil. Those main chutes will be up to 6' out.

My suggestions are more to save you long term hassle based on my experience. Rotten wood will invite the bugs. That rotten wood will eventually collapse and cause a depression in your grading.

I realize my opinion is strong. Reason being is that I have heard pretty much everything said in this thread only to have a customer arrive at "I should have just pulled them out". Drives me nuts every time.

The way I see it...a dentist doesn't remove a tooth by simply grinding it below the gumline.
