We have a 40' Oak tree in our backyard that we love and want to keep.
The roots have broken the cement patio and are headed toward the foundation of our house. Who do we contact to help us with this issue? We want to replace the patio and need tree-friendly options.
Answer
Expert advice is available from Certified Arborists. You wish to save the tree and replace the patio and are concerned that the roots might damage the foundation of your house. You can find a list of arborists in your area at the International Society of Arboriculture web site.
