Tree Preservation FAQs
Girdling roots circle a tree’s trunk and constrict it. These roots prevent the tree from transporting nutrients from the roots to the canopy and vice versa. Girdling roots may occur when a tree is in compacted soil.
Root pruning may be able to save your trees from girdling roots, but there are no guarantees. The same roots that are strangling your tree are the ones responsible for providing nutrients and anchoring a tree. Pruning them may save a tree, but it may also remove a primary source of nutrition for your tree. In these instances, a tree will be unstable and unable to secure necessary nutrients, necessitating removal.
Soil naturally has pores where air and water are stored. Roots can quickly expand in regular soil in search of additional nutrients and water. Compacted soil reduces these pores and prevents the roots from developing.
Construction often involves heavy equipment and plenty of foot traffic that can quickly compact soil and harm your trees. A tree’s roots spread out much farther than you think, and digging during construction may sever the roots and leave a tree struggling to get the nutrients it needs to survive.
