I have a clay brick driveway and the very last space is messed up by the tree roots of the oak right next to it. The pavers company suggests to remove all the affected and use a stump grinder to grind down 6-8 inches, add sand to re-level, compact and put the bricks back. If a stump grinder is...
Client has a home with several black corrugated pipes that seem to be totally jammed up. Therefore all water is just overflowing right near the foundation. No good. Anyone ever had any success "toto-rooting" or....any other way to clean these out? Concerned they're packed with roots/dirt/etc...
I have a tree, and then around the tree a brick patio. Roots from the tree and pushing up the bricks from the patio. What is the best solution for this? Thanks!
Hello, I've had a sewage pit in the basement installed for about 6 years, it appears tree roots are coming down the pipe that feeds from the toilet. I'm not sure if it was installed improperly, (contractors did it) or if this is a normal unlucky circumstance. 1. Is it likely i have to dig up...
Having a yard filled with huge old Oak and Acorn trees makes for some nice shade, but has it's problems. I've been having problems with the septic tank filling up. That I had to use a Saws All to run an electric line should give you and idea of how thick the roots in my yard are. I went to...
Clear out roots here at B, seal the connection here? (which I am not sure how to seal, yet). Cost roughly $300 or less. Option-2: Install new PVC lines, which now goes from B2. Discard the old line from A->B->C, and connect A->B2->C . This way I am not going so close to three as before and will prevent new pipe much better from roots. Cost ...
The roots were at surface or above ground level. Nothing would grow in that area beneath the canopy close to the roots. Even if something were planted and were miraculously to survive, that growth might interfere with your maple's moisture intake and affect that tree's long term survivability.
I have roots about 10 feet down a 2" sewer pipe. I have a regular spiral bit hand held auger but the bit is not well suited for cutting roots and it's not changeable. I don't want to spend over $100 to buy a large auger, and renting every year seems like a waste. I've been searching for a root...
Roots love water so they will follow the pipe, go through the wax ring and go down the drain searching for it. I agree with you, after you cleared the roots some copper sulfate or root destroyer available at any big box store will do it. I like your idea of packing with root destroyer granules or rock salt sounds like a good idea.
My wife wants to clear out our front yard of all the juniper bush. The largest trunk is about 8" diameter at the base, and about 4' high, spreading about 10' wide. Do I need to completely up-root these suckers, or can I just chop them down and stump-grind or burn the stumps? They take up...
