It's entirely possible that it might just be *my* soil conditions and/or climate in my area contributing to the problem, but so far, all of the stumps in my front yard that were buried after my yard was first leveled have caused sink holes to open up many years later. The first year they opened up my wife was walking in the front yard and without warning fell through one of the holes into an open void past her knee. I'm just really glad she didn't get hurt.
Every year I do my best to re-fill them, but so far, it's been to no avail as the following year they just open up again. My plan is to finally dig them out later this year (once my tractor arrives) and deal with the problem once and for all.
Wow that's pretty crazy! Yes glad she wasn't hurt! What kind of trees are they?
