Review The Property
Exposed roots can interfere with mowing or using the yard but roots connected to a living tree are not simply disposable debris.

SURFACE ROOT CLEANUP
Exposed roots can interfere with mowing or using the yard but roots connected to a living tree are not simply disposable debris. We distinguish roots around a removed stump from roots that may support a tree that remains.
Decatur’s tree guidance addresses assessments and critical root zones when other property work is proposed. Planning a tree, wall or drainage project together can reveal overlapping concerns.

LOCAL PLANNING NOTES
Review protected root areas as well as the trunk and branches involved in the tree work.
The property address determines the governing jurisdiction. Discuss the project scope before work is scheduled.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
No. Roots supporting a living tree require particular care. The condition and connection to the tree must be reviewed first.
No. A stump is one part of the old tree. Exposed roots can extend beyond the grinding area and need separate discussion.
Leave them in place for review. Cutting roots first can affect the remaining tree and change the scope.
