Your walkway has a lump in it, the driveway is cracking, or you are about to pour new concrete near a tree. You like the tree, but you do not want roots wrecking your hardscape. Toms Tree Services offers tree root barrier installation in Marquette to guide roots away.
When Do You Need Tree Root Barrier Installation?
A root barrier is a panel set in the ground between a tree and something you want to protect. It turns roots downward and away from walks, drives, patios, foundations and garden beds.
It works best before roots cause damage, like when you plant a new tree near paving or put in new concrete near an existing tree.
For trees with roots already under a walk, a barrier can help after the walk is fixed. Cutting large roots can harm or weaken a tree, so we look first and tell you if it is a good idea.
In the U.P., freeze and thaw already heave walks and drives. Shallow roots on dense wooded lots add to it.
Wet spring ground can limit digging, and our short summer season means many installs happen in fall. Planning ahead helps.
We install root barriers for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at your tree and paving.
Then we come out and look. We look at the tree, its roots, and what you want to protect. We check for buried lines before digging. Then we dig a narrow trench, set the barrier panels, backfill, and clean up.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. You can start with part of the plan or all of it. If you go ahead, we set up the work with you and clean up when we finish.
How Much Does Tree Root Barrier Installation Cost?
The cost depends on how long the barrier run is, how deep it goes, the soil, and how many roots are in the way. Rocky ground, access, distance and cleanup also matter.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what each part of the work covers. That way you can pick what fits your trees and your budget, and change the plan later if your needs change.
