When Should You Have Your Roots Pruned?

When Tree Roots Invade Your Home

Concrete foundations are rarely severely damaged by roots. Roots may occasionally make their way into existing fissures and widen them. However, as long as your foundation is sound, tree roots are unlikely to cause any problems.

The rare opportunity to observe Mother Nature's inevitable fury unleashed on your home, however, may be available if you have unusually powerful, large trees. Signs to look for include:

• Cracks in the floor of your foundation

• Mostly vertical fissures in the walls of your foundation

• Windows with cracks or shards but no other signs of trauma

• Door and window frames that aren't even

• Buckling in the surface of the floor
  

When Tree Roots Burrow Beneath Your Sidewalk or Driveway

When tree roots develop under sidewalks, driveways, patios, and other shallow concrete constructions, some homeowners experience issues. And those roots have the potential to produce serious damage.

Pieces of the concrete will stick up as it cracks and buckles, posing a tripping hazard. Other individuals who frequent your walkway, patio, or driveway may become hurt as a result.

If you feel your tree's immediate root growth has obstructed your driveway or walkway, look for the following signs:

• Concrete with cracks running across it

• Roots (or earthen lumps) that lead to such fissures

• The slabs will no longer sit flush with one other due to buckling in the concrete's surface.
  

What Should You Do to Avoid Costly Root Damage?

Keep an eye out for the signs listed above and contact your tree pruning professional if they arise. Without professional assistance, you won't be able to solve the situation, especially if harm has already occurred. Turn to our arborists, and we will cut roots that cause trouble without harming your existing trees.

Why Should You Consider Tree Root Removal?

Tree roots can grow up to three times as deep underground as a tree's branches. After the tree has been chopped down, we remove tree roots to prevent:

• Additional expansion that could put the same pipe or other sewers/water lines in jeopardy.

• Stepping roots that elevate sidewalks and other surfaces, posing a safety risk.

• Root incursion or soil subsidence can cause foundation damage because roots absorb rainwater.

Tree roots grow close to the surface in some tree species and can be exposed by soil erosion, freezing and thawing, and human activity. As such, we offer a comprehensive tree root removal service in Boca Raton, eliminating trip hazards or impediments (that also cause damage to lawnmowers) and preventing costly root damage.

Let our experts remove roots left from tree stump removal and save you from the disaster brought about by rapid root growth. Call our root removal pros to get a free estimate!

Root Barrier Installation

You want your home to be so beautiful that it draws attention from the surrounding community. And, to your knowledge, you've done exactly that. A beautiful flowerbed, a grassy lawn, and a group of lovely, mature trees dot your yard. For the best aesthetic effect, you've put everything precisely so.

However, you've noticed the roots of those trees coming closer to your foundation, driveway, or main sewage line, and you're concerned. If tree roots burst through these areas or things and need expensive repairs, you don't want to be a part of that experience.

Turn to our specialists if tree roots have invaded the structures of your home. We know how to solve the issue: root barrier installation.

Why Do You Need Root Barriers Installed?

Sometimes, a root barrier is all it takes to avoid structural damage without removing a healthy tree. To maximize tree health, we install root barriers and follow patented mechanical guides after cutting surface roots. These root barriers redirect tree roots down into the ground and away from foundations, pavement, pipes, and other structures. The tree root barriers prevent more roots from sprouting through it and back into those undesirable places.

Let us place a root barrier before your tree's roots reach your property. Call us today to get your free root barrier installation quote!
