Cause of the conflict
Tree stability
Cutting roots can affect tree support and health. Root work needs an assessment of the retained tree rather than unrestricted excavation.
Alternative treatments
Avoid destabilising a retained tree
Path redesign or changes to surfaces may be worth considering. The suitable solution depends on the asset and the tree.
Ground disturbance
Locate services and agree the limits of excavation. Record exposed conditions before deciding whether additional intervention is appropriate.
Understand the root conflict
Exposed roots and affected structures
Show the affected path, drain or structure and where roots are exposed. Avoid cutting or excavating major roots before the tree’s stability has been considered.
Agree the scope before booking
Agree investigation limits first. Exposing the conflict can reveal that a surface redesign is preferable to cutting structural roots.
Protecting the retained tree
What changes the estimate?
The cost of investigation differs from repairing the affected asset. Clarify which contractor is responsible for excavation, root decisions and reinstatement.
Alternatives to cutting major roots
Watch the retained tree and any repaired surface afterwards. New movement or changes in tree condition call for assessment rather than repeated unplanned root cutting.
