I ran over this tree root with my riding mower and now it looks like shit. Is there a way I can cover this? Or will it grow back to normal in a few days?

Should I just remove the root since it is sticking up where someone could trip and fall on it? Or should I just cover it with dirt?

What "attitude" have you been giving people so far except none? Cut the root.

Yeah. It'll help you to dig around and under the root. Then use a rock bar or something else to pry the root upward to give it more tension and make the axe cut through it much easier.

Probably take you one swing on each side.

It isn't going to hurt the tree to have one of its roots damaged, but if you're paranoid about fungus getting into the tree's system, you could always seal the broken parts of the root with something like polyurethane.

Little update. I've been using an axe and I'm in so much pain now my hands are all blistered up, my ring fingers hurt super bad for some reason and I couldn't get the rest of this up. Maybe if I come back another day or something but this just seems jammed in and it's impossible to get out and my body is already broken. Fml

OP, you're asking to get teased more.

Of course its jammed in, its a fucking tree root in the ground. Your body is broken becaused you suck, use a small hand saw next time or just a goddamned shovel and bury the fucker like it wants.

Bit late for that.

Do this. If you leave a massive scar like that it can become more easily infected. If you simply cut it off the wound will be much smaller and more easily healed.

Firstly, you didnt dig enough because you clearly didnt dig under the root

Secondly I told you to use something like a rock bar under the root to pry it from the ground.

Try again.

Fuck, I removed a whole tree the other day and it only took me an hour.

Are you clear on how to swing an axe?

It sounds like you could brush up on your technique.

Work smarter, not harder.

Please educate yourself before you hurt yourself more.

How sharp is your axe?

That's probs a conifer root since they tend to be really shallow, just cut the root out, it won't harm the tree at all.

Make sure you pour some round up in the root hole afterwards so the weeds dont grow in its place.

Some conifers tend to be deep rooted and some are shallow, as with hardwoods but most every tree will have a lot of roots within the first 6 in. of soil. That statement is too general.
