Make an Appointment To Access Your Root Plate Failure

My tree has started to lift from the roots on one side since a storm. Before the storm there was some activity on the other side of this tree that may have led to some compaction. Would it be poor practice to add some compaction to the lifting side to even this damage out or would you recommend another method?

Generally on large trees with partial root plate failures, tree removal is warranted if there are people or property that would likely be impacted if the tree failed. Compacting the soil on the lifted portion of the root plate could further damage/break large support roots and contribute to failure. There are published standards and best management practices for installing supplemental support systems on trees with partial root plate failures that are under ten inches in stem diameter. On larger trees, any effort to provide supplemental support systems would require an arborist to work with a professional engineer to design a support system.

[empty string]	[empty string]	<p>Most damage to property during severe weather events occurs due to falling trees and limbs. High winds and saturated soil conditions typical of summer storms can cause tree roots to fail and branches to weaken. Limbs may be torn free during storms or an entire tree may fall, causing power outages, property damage, and even personal injury. During winter, the weight of ice and snow accumulations causes failure of branches and even entire trees.</p><p>While it is impossible to totally protect your trees and property from severe storms, there are some basic procedures that can help reduce the risk of damage. The certified arborists at Bartlett Tree Experts can inspect for defects and conditions that could predispose your trees to failure.</p><p>In many cases these hazards are not always obvious to the untrained eye and correcting them can be a dangerous job. That’s why before remedial treatments are recommended or any work is performed, a Bartlett arborist will fully inspect trees and conduct a more detailed assessment if needed. This could even include a climbing inspection or an analysis of decay that may be present in the branches, stems, or roots.</p><p>Based on the outcome of an inspection, Bartlett may recommend appropriate treatments such as pruning, installation of supportive cables or braces, and even lightning protection systems. Trees provide beauty and add value to your property so removal should only be considered where high-risk conditions exist that cannot be effectively mitigated.</p>	Some basic procedures can help reduce the risk of damage to your trees from severe storms.
