Cutting Roots with Common Sense
Many homeowners and landscapers deal with intrusive roots by grinding them down or removing them. This is sometimes expensive and also very harmful to the tree. When a tree’s roots are wounded, it can creates points of entry for pathogens and leaves the tree vulnerable to disease. If major roots are cut, it also reduces a tree’s ability to take up nutrients and water, and also makes it more susceptible to drought. Lastly, cutting roots can reduce a tree’s structural support. This can increase potential risk/danger because the tree may topple onto your house from high winds. Please exercise safety and caution or call a professional arborist from Get-R-Cut...or BOTH.
