Roots, Hardscape, and Overgrown Branches
Large trees planted near patios and driveways eventually send roots under the hardscape. Sometimes the answer is root pruning or accepting some lifting; when the tree is too close to fix, removal and stump grinding may be the practical route.
Overgrown branches are another common issue — limbs that have extended over the roof, the driveway, or the neighbor's yard since the last time anyone trimmed them.
