When your paving crew is grading a site and suddenly hits a massive root system, work must grind to a halt. Cutting through those roots could kill the tree, leading to potential project delays, compliance issues, and added costs. Brown’s Tree Service offers ISA-certified arborists who’ll determine a practical way forward when you come across a root system. We are your reliable commercial partner for timely root management guidance and arborist assessments.
Cutting through root systems on a jobsite carries with it risks such as:
Using a professional tree service company like us means we can help you through the steps required to get the job done.
Municipalities enforce tree preservation ordinances to protect their urban canopy from excavation and soil compaction done during commercial paving. For paving projects near protected trees, local requirements in Manatee and Sarasota counties may include tree removal permits, tree protection plans, or other documentation before work can proceed.
Our arborist will map out the roots, assess the health of the trees and calculate how close the paving equipment can get to the trunk. We’ll then prepare an arborist report, sometimes called an arboricultural impact assessment or a tree protection plan, to support permitting, planning, or zoning review.
If one of our arborists determines that roots are in the direct path of your paving project, they can recommend practical, ordinance-conscious options to help reduce delays. For example, they may carefully prune non-structural roots with specialized tools, or they might recommend permeable base layers to protect the roots beneath the pavement.
In cases where the tree cannot be saved, they can provide the necessary justification to support your permit application.
