Tree root removal in Fort Wayne
Root problems in Fort Wayne often come from silver maples and willows near sidewalks, driveways and old clay sewer laterals. Cutting large roots can destabilize a tree, so have the tree assessed first. Roots under the city sidewalk or curb strip involve the city, so check with 311 before cutting.
Common reasons
- Roots lifting sidewalks or driveways
- Roots left after a stump grind
- Roots near sewer lines (plumber may be needed)
Caution
- Cutting major roots of a standing tree can make it unstable; get it assessed first
