Root Damage From Construction Projects in Gloucester County

Post Copy

A driveway expansion or new patio often means cutting through roots along the way, and a tree that looks fine the following spring doesn't always stay that way. Decline sometimes doesn't show up for two or three years.

Roots cut too close to the trunk, or too many removed on one side, compromise stability and the tree's ability to take up water and nutrients.

Planning root-sensitive construction ahead of time protects a tree that would otherwise take years to show it's in trouble.
