At Morrison Tree & Landscape Services, we understand that tree-related issues can sometimes cause unexpected damage to your property. Recently, we worked with a resident in Shirley, MA, who was facing a common yet troubling problem—tree roots damaging their driveway. Here’s how we helped them solve it.
The Problem: Driveway Damage from Tree Roots
The homeowner in Shirley had noticed the growth of two trees next to their driveway and knew of the potential threat to the integrity of their driveway if left unchecked. Over time, roots will seek out water and nutrients, and this can sometimes lead them to push up against or even beneath your driveway, causing cracks, uneven surfaces, and even sinking. Upon investigation, we identified that the roots from large trees planted near the driveway would certainly be an issue in the future.
It would pose a safety risk, and would certainly result in cracks and shifting pavement, only resulting in more expensive repairs.
Our Solution: Tree Removal, Stump Grinding, and Root Removal
To effectively solve the issue, our team at Morrison Tree & Landscape implemented a comprehensive solution. First, we made the decision to remove the trees. While trees add beauty and value to a landscape, sometimes their location or root systems can cause more harm than good, especially when they’re too close to structures like driveways.
After safely removing the trees, we used stump grinding equipment to ensure that the tree stumps were completely removed from the property. This step is crucial, as it prevents any future growth of sprouts or roots that could continue to cause damage.
Finally, we took the necessary steps to remove the remaining roots. This was key to ensuring that the driveway would no longer be affected by the encroaching root systems.
The Result: A Smooth Driveway and Tree-Free Landscape
By removing the trees, grinding the stumps, and eliminating the roots, we were able to restore the homeowner’s driveway to its original condition. Without the invasive roots causing disruption, the driveway was now smooth, safe, and free from further damage.
The homeowner was thrilled with the results. Not only did they get their driveway back in top condition, but they also avoided the risk of future root-related issues. Our team’s expertise in tree removal and root management ensured that the problem was solved for good.
