What Is Tree Root Removal?
Tree root removal is a process for removing large tree roots from around buildings or near sidewalks and driveways. In some cases, it’s necessary to remove these roots to prevent damage to structures or disruption of the surrounding soil. The certified arborists at Prestige Tree Experts are experienced in safely removing large tree roots with minimal impact on the health of your trees.
Why Is Root Removal Needed?
Root systems naturally grow outward and can be a major source of damage to property. If the root system is left unchecked, you could end up with big problems, including damage to:

- Building foundations – Roots can grow right through a building foundation, causing costly damage
- Sewer lines – Roots that invade sewer lines can cause blockages, backups, and further damage to property
- Retaining walls – If the root system is left unchecked, it can push against a retaining wall and cause it to collapse

Prestige Tree Experts’ Root Removal Services in Maryland
Our team at Prestige Tree Experts offers non-invasive root removal services. We use a number of techniques to improve the health of your trees’ roots, including root air spading and tree root removal services.
There are some distinctions between these two methods to consider:
- Root air spading – This is a soil aeration process used to remove the outer layer of soil from around a tree’s root system. This exposes deeper roots and allows for better access to the root system.
- Tree root removal – This service involves carefully cutting away specific problem areas of the trees’ roots in order to reduce their overall size and manage their growth.
Our team of certified arborists can help you determine the best course of action for your trees and their root system. Contact us today for a free consultation.
