The problem is the irrigation system is now embedded in roots so I think we're going to cut them down as low as we can and plant other stuff around them to cover what's left.
Just a suggestion.
Unless the irrigation line embedded in root bulb it should be able to be removed, if it is eventually going to cause leak or break. Irrigation main lines are at least 6 to 10 inches deep. Contractor not going want take the time to remove root bulb with possibly damaging the irrigation line and be liable for it. You’re not going to get the out growing roots anyway, the will die and eventually rot away. Some jobs just have do yourself if you want it done IMO.
