We had 3 evergreen (I apologize I am not exactly sure of the name) bushes in our front yard which have now been cut down. All that is left are the "trunks" and the roots. However, some of the roots extend beyond an area we can remove them from. Will any thing grow back from the deep roots? These were over 20 years old and the roots are probably 2-3 inches thick. There is no real issue removing the main "trunk" of the plant. I am just concerned about the remaining roots interrupting any new plants. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't have a picture (They have already been chopped down) but here is a similar bush to give you a better idea of what I am working with...

I can't see it really well, but it looks like it might be a juniper of some sort. I had a group of junipers removed from in front of my front porch 3 years ago, and the trunks were removed, but the roots were left in the ground. It has not grown back, not even a tiny sprout.
I've planted other shrubs there since the juniper were removed, so it's even been kept watered and fertilized. Still nothing.
