Title of the Blog: Understanding roots and how to safely cut them without causing damage to concrete sidewalks As tree roots reach up towards the surface of concrete sidewalks, they can be challenging for people to cut. However, with proper technique and planning, it's possible to safely and effectively remove them without damaging the concrete. In this article, we'll explore some tips on how to identify tree roots, measure them accurately, and safely trim them without causing any damage to your sidewalk.

Look for the largest, hardest-to-reach areas where the tree root may grow the most efficiently. These areas are often the areas that are easiest to clean or plant new trees. Step 2: Measure the tree roots accurately After identifying the tree root, it's time to measure its height and diameter. This will help you determine how much soil needs to be removed and prevent any potential plant growth. Here's an example of how to measure a tree root: - Stand up on a wall or other sturdy surface. - Use your hands to gently tap each leg of the tree root against the wall. The space between the edge of the tapping point and the base of the tree root should be equal to the depth of the tree trunk. - Record the distance you tapped each root. - Repeat the process on the remaining branches until all tree roots have been measured. Step 3:trim the tree roots safely Now that you know the height and diameter of the tree roots, it's time to safely trim them. Before doing so, it's important to use gloves and protective gear to avoid the skin or cuts to the delicate skin on the tree root.
