Removing a large Laurel Oak (Quercus laurifolia) with a deep codominant union and decay is a necessary decision, given its proximity to the home and the potential hazards it poses. Although we have a deep affection for our trees, some may become too hazardous to maintain, especially when they're situated this close to the home. This particular tree's close proximity to the home has not only caused damage to the foundation and driveway, but its structural instability has also rendered it increasingly difficult to mitigate these issues. Its removal is essential to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of the home and its occupants.

Will people ever learn that creating mulch volcanos is bad for trees? Any time you cover the root crown (area where base transitions to root system) with anything be it mulch, rocks, grass, etc... this causes new roots to generate. These new roots grow over top of existing buttress roots (main roots coming off of the tree). Over time as both the buttress root and new root grow the new root becomes a strapping or girdling root and acts as a tourniquet slowly restricting the flow of water and nutrients. If left untreated this will eventually lead to the death of the tree. Either by toppling over due to inadequate support roots or die back. The main visual symptom of gurdling strapping roots is displayed in the vertical growth of a tree. The vertical growth slows down. Then stops all together before the tree starts dying back from the top down. All while the lowest branches appear to still be perfectly healthy. If the base of your tree has been covered over give us a call. Our ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, Chris Andrews -9222B will gladly inspect your tree and come up with an appropriate treatment option that works best for both you and your tree. (352)460-4668
