Root Removal

Surface roots that are lifting walks, drives and foundations, cut back and removed

Free EstimateIndianapolis Area · Mon – Sat

Silver maples, cottonwoods, willows and sycamores put out roots that run along the surface and eventually lift the sidewalk, crack the driveway, push at the foundation, or make a lawn impossible to mow. We remove surface and lateral roots where they are doing damage — cut cleanly, dug out, and the ground graded and backfilled — and we tell you honestly when a root is too close to the trunk to cut without endangering the tree. We also clear the root mass left behind after a removal or a grind so the ground can be used again.

Our Process

1

Trace the Roots

We see where they run, what they are lifting, and how close to the trunk the cut would be.

2

Utilities

811 called and irrigation and drains located before we dig.

3

Cut & Remove

Roots severed cleanly and dug out of the affected area.

4

Backfill

Topsoil in, graded level, ready to seed or for the concrete crew.
