MYTH: TREES HAVE DEEP ROOTS
Most trees begin life with a taproot – a straight tapering root that grows vertically down and from which other roots sprout. Over time, the roots will reach very deep into the earth and remain mostly vertical.

The Truth
Most planted mature trees do not have a taproot; they tend to be more shallow-rooted than you might think. While some trees do have a taproot when they are saplings, after a few years the main root system changes to a widespread system with mainly horizontally growing surface roots and only a few vertical, deep anchoring roots.

Tree roots have to be shallow to stay within the loose, oxygenated soil near the surface. They are extensive, spreading to several times the width of the canopy. Damage to roots is a major cause of decline, death, or physical failure. Roots are injured or destroyed by soil compaction, soil removal, severed roots, fill soil over roots, flooding, or drought.

Felling of a Karee that was starting to uproot. Chipping of all the branches + old branches from an oak that fell over. The client will use the mulch in her garden.

Call us for all your tree needs.

This oak was in bad shape.
Root damage, previously topped, compaction, insects, fungal infection, fruiting bodies, cavaties, large wounds from previous limb failure and branches breaking off. We offered a few options, but the client felt that due to the location of the tree the risk outweighed preservation.
