Just before I met my now wife, she bought a house that had a Elm tree in the front yard. She is allergic to Elm trees, so her dad cut it down, and hauled it away. He worked for the local power company, and used some super duper terminator "roundup" like poison on the stump. We met and got married a couple of years later. When I moved to her house and turned my house into a rental, I tried to plant grass where the stump was rotted away. Nothing at all would grow, it just died.

I had to dig out several inches of soil, and bring in new soil before Bermuda grass would grow there.

I have no idea what he used, but it was some sort of powerful, likely whatever is used in sub stations to keep weeds and trees from growing.
