The Hidden Dangers Of Tree Roots: A Growing Concern for Homeowners

Tree roots can be a blessing or a curse, depending on the situation. While they play an important role in maintaining soil quality and preventing erosion, overgrown tree roots can lead to costly damages to your property.

Causes of Tree Root Damage

The main causes of tree root damage include:

• Rapid growth: Trees that grow quickly can outcompete other vegetation, leading to increased soil competition for water and nutrients.
• Inadequate pruning: Failing to prune trees regularly can lead to the formation of roots that compete with other plants for resources.
• Soil compaction: Heavy foot traffic or machinery can compact the soil around tree roots, restricting their growth and increasing damage.
