Root Pruning

Left unchecked, tree roots can grow with a mind of their own. They crack driveways, lift walkways, and press against foundations and underground pipes. Careful root pruning prevents that damage while keeping the tree healthy and strong.

The result is a safer yard, a steadier tree that stands up better to winter storms, and less strain on your property. Because cutting too much, or the wrong roots, can destabilize a tree, every job calls for an experienced hand.

If your sidewalk or driveway is cracking, roots are surfacing where people walk, a tree is leaning more than it used to, or a remodel is planned near a tree you value, it's a good time for an assessment. Your arborist will evaluate the tree, its species, and its root growth, make precise cuts, check for underground utilities before any digging, and give you an honest recommendation on whether the tree can be safely pruned.

Our arborists provide root pruning in San Francisco and throughout the surrounding Bay Area, from the Peninsula to the East Bay. We also serve property managers, and commercial owners, with root solutions for parking lots, walkways, and shared grounds.
