A new driveway or patio can kill a mature tree slowly, and the damage often does not show for two or three years.
Most of a tree's feeding roots sit in the top foot or so of soil and spread well beyond the canopy. Trenching, grading, and heavy equipment parked under a tree cut and compact those roots, and a large oak may decline long after the project wraps up.
Before work starts in Fayetteville, Tyrone, or Peachtree City, mark a protection zone around valued trees, keep equipment and material piles out of it, and avoid changing the grade over the roots. Where roots must be cut, clean cuts are far better than torn ones.
A tree inspection before construction helps sort out which trees are worth protecting and which may be better removed now, while equipment access is easy. Honest answers up front save money and heartache later.
