Tree Root Removal in Deltona, FL
Laurel oaks and water oaks were planted along thousands of Deltona driveways when the neighborhoods were built. Decades later, their surface roots lift driveway edges, crack sidewalks and ridge the lawn, and they stay behind after the tree is gone. Root removal clears them so the yard can be leveled and replanted.
Tree root removal in Deltona
Tree root removal in Deltona usually means grinding the large surface roots that radiate from a ground stump, or cutting back roots that are lifting a driveway or pavers. We grind them below grade and leave the area ready for soil and sod.
Roots under Deltona driveways
Roots at the edge of a driveway can usually be cut back and ground out. Where a root has already lifted a slab section, the concrete may need to come up to fix it properly. Cutting roots from a living tree near the driveway is a decision for our arborist first; cutting the wrong root can destabilize the tree.
After the stump is ground
A standard stump grind leaves roots running out under the lawn. If you are laying sod, adding a patio or replanting, ask for the main surface roots to be followed and ground at the same visit.
Call 811 first

Common
questions.
Will removing roots kill my tree?
It can, if large roots are cut close to the trunk. Have a living tree assessed before cutting its roots.
Can you grind roots and the stump together?
Yes, and it is the most efficient way to do it.
How long until I can lay sod?
Usually right away once the trench is backfilled with soil and settled.
