Tree roots lifting driveway — Leiden, South Holland
Tree roots growing beneath a driveway, sidewalk, or patio can crack and lift concrete slabs, creating trip hazards and costly damage. A tree service or arborist can assess whether roots can be safely pruned without killing the tree, or whether the tree needs removal. A landscaper or concrete contractor can then repair or replace the damaged surface.
Why this is common in Leiden
Compact gardens, wet soil and the maritime climate shape landscaping in Leiden: drainage and raised beds matter, while suburban districts sustain steady maintenance and the shift to low-maintenance planting.
