The driveway has a hump that gets bigger every year. The sidewalk slab by the porch is lifted, and the patio stones are tipping. Tree roots are pushing up from below. Toms Tree Services removes tree roots in Marquette so you can fix the surface and stop the damage.
When Do You Need Tree Root Removal?
Signs you need tree root removal: cracked or lifted asphalt and concrete, tipped patio stones, edging pushed out of line, and roots showing where they should not be.
Big trees near hard surfaces are the usual cause. Roots grow toward water and air under slabs. In the U.P., freeze and thaw cycles work on those cracks every winter and make them grow fast.
Fixing a drive or walk without dealing with the roots often means the damage comes back. It is best to remove the roots before new paving goes in.
If the tree is still standing, we check how big the roots are and how close they are to the trunk. Cutting major roots can harm a tree or make it unstable, so sometimes tree removal and stump grinding is the safer path. We will talk it through with you.
We do tree root removal for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and around 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 the roots.
Then we come out and look at the job. We look at the tree, the damaged surface, and where the roots run. We ask you to have buried lines marked. If the surface must come up first, we plan with you and your paving contractor.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. If you go ahead, we grind the stump below the ground with a stump grinder, turning it into wood chips. Then we talk with you about the chips and the hole.
How Much Does Tree Root Removal Cost?
The price depends on root size, how many roots, how deep they are, and whether they run under pavement. Access for gear, distance, and cleanup also matter. If the tree must come down, that is part of the estimate too. The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee.
When we give you the estimate, we go over what it covers, such as how deep we grind, and whether chips are left to fill the hole or hauled away. That way you can pick what fits your needs and budget.
