Residential Projects

A trees' root system can extend well beyond the canopy or "drip line" of a tree and often times the trees' roots can cause challenges during development. Give us a call today to find out more about root investigation reports for your new addition or remodel, pool, garage extension or any other construction. The root investigation report will provide a detailed "map" of the trees' roots that are in conflict with your project as well as other valuable information that will help to provide solutions for your next project.

Commercial Projects

Several municipalities may require a root investigation report that can provide detailed information on any of the possible conflicts that your next commercial project may have with existing trees. Our reports are clear and concise with detailed information that include color photos, numbering, a root "map", size of roots and percentage being pruned if needed as well as recommendations and possible impacts to the tree. Contact us today to find out more about a root excavation report for your commercial job.

The Purpose of a Root Excavation Report

Why do a root excavation report

A Root Excavation Report is a detailed assessment of tree roots conducted by a certified arborist or tree professional. It involves the careful excavation and examination of tree roots to evaluate their condition, distribution, and potential impact on surrounding structures or utilities.

The purpose of a Root Excavation Report is to understand the root system of a tree and assess any potential risks or issues associated with it. The report may include information on root structure, depth, size, and any signs of decay, disease, or damage. It can also identify any conflicts with underground utilities, foundations, or other structures.

The findings of a Root Excavation Report can help guide decisions related to tree management, such as pruning, root barrier installation, or tree removal if necessary. It provides valuable information for property owners, arborists, and construction professionals to ensure the health and safety of trees and surrounding structures.

If you require a Root Excavation Report, it is recommended to consult a certified arborist or tree professional who can conduct the necessary assessment and provide you with a comprehensive report based on your specific requirements.

What a root excavation report can provide

The Root Excavation Report plays a crucial role in ensuring the preservation of trees

1. Identification of Potential Risks:

The report helps identify any potential conflicts or risks between tree roots and nearby structures or utilities. By assessing the condition and distribution of tree roots, it highlights areas where roots may be causing damage or pose a risk to infrastructure.

2. Mitigation Measures:

The report provides recommendations for appropriate measures to mitigate any issues identified. This may include root pruning, installation of root barriers, or other techniques to manage tree roots while minimizing potential damage to structures.

3. Tree Management Decisions:

The report helps inform tree management decisions, such as whether a tree needs to be removed or if it can be preserved with proper root management. It ensures that trees are managed in a way that minimizes risks to surrounding infrastructure while still prioritizing tree preservation.

4. Collaboration and Planning:

The report facilitates collaboration between arborists, engineers, and other stakeholders involved in managing trees and infrastructure. It provides valuable information for planning construction projects, implementing root protection zones, or making decisions regarding tree planting and removal.

5. Long-term Maintenance:

The report serves as a reference for ongoing maintenance and monitoring of trees and infrastructure. It helps ensure that appropriate measures are taken to manage tree roots over time, reducing the likelihood of future conflicts and preserving the long-term health and integrity of both trees and surrounding infrastructure.


By providing accurate information, recommendations, and guidelines, the Root Excavation Report helps balance the preservation of trees with the protection of surrounding infrastructure, promoting sustainable and harmonious coexistence between nature and built environments.
