Risk Categorization
Mitigation options
This assessment is based on the assumed
condition of having to sever multiple structural
roots on the East side of the tree to effectuate
driveway repairs using the owner’s preferred
construction techniques to replace like with like.”
Driveway Structural
roots Roots are heaving asphalt driveway
●●●●Extreme
Sidewalk Structural
roots Roots heaving sidewalk
●●●●Extreme
Driveway approach Structural
roots Roots heaving approach and creating tripping hazard
●●●●Extreme
Turf areas Structural
roots Roots heaving turf creating trip hazard and reducing lawn maintenance
●●●●Extreme
Tree roots have surfaced onto driveway and grown large severely damaging the asphalt surfacing creating trip hazards and making access difficult if not impossible.
Tree roots have heaved the public sidewalk and created tripping hazards in three locations.
Tree roots have heaved the driveway approach tilting it towards the street and creating a 1-inch lift, a tripping hazard.
Tree roots have heaved turf areas and surfaced in several locations creating tripping hazards and make lawn maintenance impossible in several locations.
