Tree Root Pruning

Tree root pruning is the process of selectively cutting tree roots to prevent them from interfering with structures, such as foundations, sidewalks, driveways, or underground utilities. This technique is also used to encourage new root growth in a more desirable direction or to prepare a tree for transplanting. Root pruning must be done carefully to avoid damaging the tree's overall health and stability. It involves identifying the roots that need to be pruned, making clean cuts with specialized tools, and providing proper aftercare, such as watering and mulching, to help the tree recover. Proper root pruning helps protect both the tree and nearby structures, ensuring a healthy balance between root growth and the surrounding environment.
