Dunwoody, GA – For many residents in the established neighborhoods of Dunwoody, the mature oak and maple trees that provide character to their properties are also causing a slow-motion disaster beneath their feet. Expanding root systems exert thousands of pounds of pressure, lifting heavy concrete slabs and creating dangerous trip hazards on sidewalks and driveways.
Trees Plus LTD is highlighting its specialized tree removal and deep stump grinding services as a critical first step for homeowners planning to repave or repair their hardscapes, ensuring that new investments are not immediately ruined by aggressive root growth.
“A beautiful driveway can be destroyed in a single season by a large structural root,” says Nick Sanchez, Owner of Trees Plus LTD. “If you simply pour new concrete over an existing root system, that root will continue to expand and crack the new slab within months. Our tree service provides a permanent solution by removing the biological source of the pressure before the masonry work begins.”
Identifying Subsurface Pressure and Trip Hazards
Root heave is often a progressive issue that starts with a small hairline fracture and eventually leads to a multi-inch displacement of a driveway or walkway. In Dunwoody, where property values are high and curb appeal is paramount, these "buckled" sections of concrete are more than just an eyesore; they are significant liabilities.
When a tree service professional evaluates these areas, they look for "telltale" signs like soil mounding near the base of the tree or pavers that have begun to tilt toward the street. In many cases, a strategic tree removal is the only way to level the ground and prevent further structural damage to the home’s exterior.
“We see homeowners try to grind down the concrete to fix a trip hazard, but that’s just a temporary patch,” explains Sanchez. “The root is a living engine that keeps growing. Removing the tree and grinding out the stump is the only way to ensure your sidewalk stays flat and safe for your family.”
Precision Stump Grinding for Total Clearance
To ensure the ground is ready for new construction, the team utilizes high-powered stump grinding equipment that reaches deep into the soil. This process severs the main lateral roots that are responsible for lifting the concrete.
By turning the stump and structural roots into mulch, the crew prepares the site for a smooth, level pour. This thoroughness is what separates a professional tree removal from a simple "cut and drop" operation, providing the clean slate needed for a long-lasting driveway or walkway.
