Root Pruning Services by Ted Safford & Son, Arborists

At Ted Safford & Son, Arborists, we specialize in providing professional root pruning services to ensure your trees remain healthy and safe, while protecting your property from potential damage.

What is Root Pruning?

Root pruning involves selectively cutting tree roots to control their growth and prevent issues such as root encroachment on buildings, sidewalks, or other structures. This process requires expert knowledge to ensure that the tree’s health is maintained while addressing any problematic root growth.

Benefits of Root Pruning

Prevents Structural Damage

Unchecked root growth can cause significant damage to foundations, driveways, sidewalks, and underground utilities. Root pruning helps prevent these issues, saving you from costly repairs.

Promotes Tree Health

By removing specific roots, we can improve the tree’s nutrient absorption and overall health. This process encourages the development of a stronger, more balanced root system.

Enhances Safety

Root pruning reduces the risk of trip hazards caused by roots breaking through the soil surface. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas like pathways and play areas.

Improves Aesthetic Appeal

Managing root growth helps maintain the tree’s structural integrity and appearance, contributing to a well-kept and attractive landscape.

Our Root Pruning Process

At Ted Safford & Son, Arborists, we follow a meticulous and safe approach to root pruning:

Initial Assessment

Our certified arborists conduct a thorough assessment of the tree and its root system. We identify problematic roots and determine the best course of action to address them without compromising the tree’s health.

Customized Pruning Plan

Based on the assessment, we develop a tailored root pruning plan. This plan considers the tree species, age, health, and the specific issues identified during the assessment.

Careful Execution

Our team uses specialized tools and techniques to carefully prune the roots. We ensure that only the necessary roots are pruned, minimizing stress on the tree and promoting healthy regrowth.

Aftercare and Monitoring

Following the root pruning, we provide recommendations for aftercare to support the tree’s recovery. This may include watering, mulching, and monitoring the tree’s health over time.
