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.
Duluth’s stormwater resources include drainage easements and stream buffers. A proposed landscape change should consider those features before equipment enters the work area.

LOCAL PLANNING NOTES
Review the tree and equipment route for nearby drainage features as well as structures.
The property address determines the governing jurisdiction. Discuss the project scope before work is scheduled.
LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY
Call or request a free estimate to discuss the tree care, drainage or outdoor work your property needs.

THE WORK INVOLVED
An exposed root beside a mower route or walkway needs a different discussion from a remaining stump. Explain where the root is and whether the tree is still standing. Cutting roots can affect a retained tree so the proposed limits need review.

YOUR PROPERTY AFTER THE WORK
Improving a surface should account for living trees nearby. Ask how much root material can reasonably be addressed and what finish is practical. New soil or a changed walking route may need consideration alongside any root work.
FROM FIRST CALL TO SERVICE DAY
Contact Tyler with the property address, photographs from a clear location and the concern you want reviewed.
Check the listed work, cleanup and any separate finishing items. Ask about anything you want clarified before accepting the scope.
Confirm timing and access. Discuss vehicles, pets and any items that need to be moved from the agreed work area.
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.
Duluth’s stormwater resources include drainage easements and stream buffers. A proposed landscape change should consider those features before equipment enters the work area. Confirm the governing jurisdiction for the property before relying on a permit exemption.
