Joshua,
When I have a tree cut down, I used landscaping timbers to make a stump cover, a raised flower bed.
Well, no more stump covers. Last stump cover lasted 4 years before the termites eating the stump eat the timbers too.
A stump cover I made 9 years, same problem, termites ate the timbers. Well I took backhoe, removed the dirt. Only a small part of the stump remained. It was like cork.
So you could cut the stumps level with ground, cover with dirt and feed the termites for about 10 years.
I've removed other stump covers, either the timbers were rotted or tenants let them turn to crabgrass. So I can say that in 10-12 years stumps should be gone.
I have a stump I never covered, level with ground. It has lasted about 15 years and is still there. george
