Green Brook Tree & Lawn Care | Root Damage & Landscape Solutions | DRB Enterprise Corp

Absolutely. Proper, strategic pruning by our certified arborists helps manage a tree's canopy size and growth direction. This can reduce the tree's demand for water and nutrients near the surface, which in turn can discourage aggressive surface root growth that causes lawn heaving and damage. It's a proactive care step we recommend for local trees.

This common local issue requires a two-part solution from our landscape maintenance team. First, we address the roots through careful grading and adding a layer of topsoil to create a smooth, plantable surface. Then, we overseed with shade-tolerant grass blends suited for our area to fill in patches. Regular aeration and proper watering guidance help ensure the new grass establishes well around the root systems.

Not always. Our tree care experts will first assess the tree's health, species, and location. Often, root pruning or installing a root barrier during our landscaping service can mitigate the problem while preserving the tree. However, if the tree is diseased, dangerously placed, or a species known for invasive roots, we may recommend removal as the best long-term solution for your property's health and safety.
