Our Root Removal Services
Surface Root Removal
Surface roots that lift sidewalks, driveways, or lawns are safely cut and extracted to prevent further damage. We restore level surfaces while minimizing impact on your landscape. Surface roots are common, especially with species like Ficus and Banyan. Our team carefully removes these roots, preventing trip hazards and preserving your yard's or outdoor space's beauty.
Deep Root Extraction
Roots that extend deep underground or beneath structures require careful extraction using specialized equipment without disturbing surrounding utilities or hardscapes. Our skilled technicians precisely remove these roots while protecting irrigation lines, plumbing, and nearby hardscapes, ensuring your property remains structurally sound.
Stump and Root Grinding
Following tree removal, leftover roots and stumps can continue to cause issues. Our stump and root grinding service eliminates these remnants below ground level, preventing future growth. Grinding roots and stumps ensures the area is ready for new landscaping or construction. We use powerful, modern equipment to grind roots in tight spaces efficiently, which is standard in urban properties, leaving your site clean and hazard-free.
Root Barrier Installation
We install durable root barriers that guide root growth away from foundations, driveways, or underground pipes to prevent future root invasion and provide long-term protection. Our barriers are designed to withstand soil conditions and heavy rainfall, offering peace of mind for years to come.
Foundation Protection Root Removal
Roots threatening the structural integrity of building foundations are precisely removed. Our team ensures your home or business remains safe from root-related foundation damage. We use non-invasive techniques to access these areas, removing problematic roots while preserving the stability of your property.
Root Removal for Driveway & Sidewalk Repair
We work alongside paving contractors to remove intrusive roots prior to sidewalk or driveway repairs, ensuring a smooth, lasting surface without future root interference. Our team coordinates with concrete and paving crews to eliminate these roots, preventing future upheaval and extending the lifespan of your paved surfaces.
Benefits of Professional Root Removal
Prevents Property Damage
Tree roots are powerful enough to lift concrete, crack foundations, and damage plumbing systems over time. Left unchecked, they can weaken driveways, sidewalks, and patios, leading to expensive repairs. Professional root removal targets these invasive roots at the source. This proactive approach saves property owners significant money and stress down the line.
Improves Tree Health
Not all roots benefit a tree's long-term health—some grow aggressively and drain vital nutrients from the main trunk and canopy. Roots competing with each other or nearby plants can stunt growth or cause disease. Skilled arborists carefully remove problematic roots while preserving the tree’s structural stability, resulting in a healthier, more vibrant tree and landscape.
Enhances Safety
Roots that push through the surface of lawns, pathways, or public spaces create significant tripping hazards. This can be especially dangerous for children, elderly individuals, and visitors to your property. Professional root removal eliminates these safety risks quickly and effectively. By addressing the issue early, you help prevent accidents and potential liability.
Protects Underground Utilities
Tree roots naturally seek out moisture, often invading underground pipes, sewage lines, and electrical conduits. This can cause costly blockages, leaks, or service interruptions that require extensive repairs. Certified root removal experts use specialized tools to eliminate these threats without damaging infrastructure. It’s a preventive step that safeguards your utilities and peace of mind.
Promotes Better Landscaping Options
Overgrown roots can dominate your yard, making it challenging to plant grass, install patios, or create flower beds. Their presence restricts your landscaping vision and limits usable space. Professional root removal clears these obstacles, allowing you to design the outdoor space you’ve always wanted. It enhances both the beauty and functionality of your property.
Prepares the Area for Construction Projects
Roots lurking beneath the soil can disrupt construction projects, making it difficult to build stable foundations for sheds, decks, fences, or other structures. They can lead to uneven surfaces and long-term structural issues if not properly addressed. Professional root removal ensures a clean, stable area ready for development. This allows construction to proceed smoothly and safely.
Prevent Costly Damage with Proven Root Removal Techniques
Unchecked tree roots can silently cause significant damage to homes, businesses, and landscapes. From cracked concrete to compromised foundations and damaged plumbing, the hidden impact of invasive roots often goes unnoticed until repairs become costly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is root removal safe for the tree?
In some cases, yes. Our experts assess each situation to determine if selective root removal is possible without compromising tree health. We carefully evaluate the root system and only target invasive or problematic roots, preserving overall tree stability whenever feasible.
How deep do you remove roots?
We remove roots based on the location and type of problem, typically addressing both surface and subsurface roots that pose risks. In cases where roots extend beneath foundations or hardscapes, we use precision tools to reach deeper layers without damaging surrounding areas.
Can root removal damage my utilities?
No. We use careful excavation and detection methods to avoid damaging water lines, irrigation systems, or underground cables. Our team conducts thorough inspections before starting, ensuring your utilities remain protected throughout the root removal process.
How long does root removal take?
The timeframe depends on the extent of the root system and location, but most residential jobs are completed within a few hours. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time, but we always provide clear time estimates before work begins.
Do I need a permit for root removal in Hollywood?
Permit requirements vary by property and tree species. If permits are necessary, we can help guide you through local regulations. Our team is familiar with city codes and can assist with paperwork to ensure compliance with municipal guidelines.
Will roots grow back after removal?
It’s possible if the roots aren't fully removed or if barriers aren’t installed. We offer long-term solutions to prevent regrowth. Installing root barriers and performing thorough extractions significantly reduce the chances of roots returning and causing future problems.
Is root removal expensive?
Costs depend on the size and complexity of the job. We provide transparent, competitive pricing with free on-site assessments. Our goal is to offer affordable solutions that protect your property and prevent more expensive damage down the line.
Can you remove roots under concrete or pavement?
Yes. We use specialized tools to access and remove roots beneath hard surfaces with minimal disruption to the structure. After root removal, we coordinate with paving professionals to ensure your driveway, sidewalk, or patio remains level and secure.
