That New Patio Might Be Killing a Tree Slowly, You Just Can't See It Yet

Post Copy

Cutting roots for a driveway or patio doesn't always show damage right away. The decline can take two or three years to show up.

Too many roots cut on one side compromises stability and the tree's ability to take up water, leading to gradual dieback.

Had any construction happen near trees on your property recently?
