SLIDE 10

Causes

Tree Roots Root pruning often kills trees and most municipalities don’t consider removing trees as a viable solution.

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Causes

Tree Roots Root pruning often kills trees and most municipalities don’t consider removing trees as a viable solution. Ground Settling Improper compaction upon install.

Causes

Tree Roots Root pruning often kills trees and most municipalities don’t consider removing trees as a viable solution. Ground Settling Improper compaction upon install. Freeze / Thaw Typically in areas with heavy water concentration: near ponds, broken sprinklers, etc. Reverts to the natural state. Clay soils expand due to positive ions that attract water.
