Questions To Ask a Tri-Cities Arborist – Part 5 – May 2018

We’re now in the season of lawn maintenance and tree maintenance here in West Richland. There are so many possibilities of how to plant, shape, and maintain your yard and the trees and shrubbery in them. If you have questions about trees, we are an excellent resource. We are fully accredited arborists in West Richland and there are only a handful of us here in the area.

Here are some of the more common questions we receive:

  • The roots of my tree keep coming up in my yard and I run over them with the lawnmower. Can I do anything about this? While you can remove small roots, be careful not to injure the tree. Better yet, make a bigger mulch circle.
  • I think that tree roots have broken into my sewer line. What should I do? Roots will most certainly take advantage of any existing break, crack, or separation in a line of sewer pipe, but they can’t initiate a break. The problem is with your pipes, not the tree. You might try a copper sulfate treatment.
  • My tree looks sick, what can I do? Contact us!
