Large roots are not mobile. If you cover them with dirt, they're

They don't have to be large roots. Some trees have thin roots
that still form a dense mass and will indeed grow up into new
soil.

Thin roots won't be a problem for grass. Especially if you cover
existing roots with 1 or 2" of soil, especially if you then lay down
sod.

If the roots didn't want to be closer to the surface, they
wouldn't have grown up there to begin with.

If you cover surface roots with soil, they can't magically lift
themselves up and back to the surface. If they send out smaller root
shoots back up to the surface, it will take some years before those
shoots become a problem - if ever.

Wow. You're ****ing clueless.
