Root Pruning Services in San Diego
Coastal Tree Care Provides Expert Pruning for Tree Roots
The trees on your San Diego property rely on strong, healthy roots to anchor them, and absorb nourishment and adequate hydration from the soil. With the help of ISA-certified arborists at Coastal Tree Care, you can keep your trees happy and healthy. As part of our comprehensive arbor care services, we also offer root pruning to reshape tangled, compressed, and threatened root systems.
Why Do Trees Require Root Pruning?
There are two main reasons your San Diego trees may need root pruning.
- Your tree roots may be healthy, but are encroaching on sidewalks, patios, foundations, interfering with buried services such as sewers, irrigation, or electrical or even disrupting roadways. Call us, we can assess the situation and trim back the roots appropriately.
- In other cases, roots that develop abnormally require reshaping to spread out and form a healthy root system to protect the tree’s vigor and stability.
Root pruning can also correct drainage issues when added to regular arbor care.
Root Problems Resolved by Root Pruning
Here are the most common issues resolved by our root pruning services in San Diego:
- Circling roots. Sometimes, potted trees develop circling roots if they are left in the pot too long. Through judicious pruning, we can prevent the rogue roots from strangling the tree and encourage the growth of healthy roots.
- Descending roots. These roots plunge or descend into the root ball in a small container. With proper pruning, the roots will spread adequately and enable stability and growth resulting in a strong tree.
As mentioned earlier, our arborists can prune back roots and other parts of the tree interfering with construction work or important structures. If necessary, we’ll move or remove the tree.
