Tree roots lifting driveway — San Diego, California
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.
