A tree planted too close to a house can look fine for years before root growth starts causing foundation cracks, driveway heaving, or plumbing problems.
Premier Tree Care evaluates root-related structural risk for homeowners throughout Greenville, Greer, Taylors, and Spartanburg County. Root systems often extend two to three times the width of a tree's canopy, and when they run into a foundation or underground pipe, it's usually the structure that suffers.
Depending on the situation, root pruning or a root barrier can resolve the issue. In other cases, especially with larger species planted too close, removal before real damage occurs is the more practical solution.
If you have a tree that's a little too close to your home, our Certified Arborists can assess the risk and recommend the right approach.
