Thanks for the PDF--that is what I thought they arborist would do, but they didn't. I'm going to try to dig out where the stump was to get to the rest of the roots and will poison from there. I spent a few hours pulling back some pavers and following one of the roots that I uncovered (see the...

Thanks for the video! That is what I was told the arborist was going to do, instead, they bore out the trunk and then applied some poison (supposedly--I don't think they did). Now, I have the roots sprouting all around. My thought is to somehow unearth where the trunk was and find all the big...

Had a 11-year old Sissoo tree in the backyard and found its roots pushing up our pool deck and pavers. I noticed some pavers pushed up 25-yards from the trunk and going to my house! Already had an arborist come out and remove the tree. I'm looking for some guidance and advice: The arborist...

I agree. Had a couple arborists come onsite and both agree the sissoo tree's near the pool must go immediately. I'm hearing they have horrendous roots that wreak havoc. Removing the trees tomorrow and killing the roots etc. Thanks!

Reviving this thread, as I'm picking up where we left off almost 2-years ago. I decided to take on the project and dig up the pavers and found roots! Easy to see the big root on the left, harder to see, but a root is going under the raised step area and under the cool deck (pushing the cool...

Just a follow-up. Hired someone to come out and had the tree cut down. Thanks!

A big storm ripped through Phoenix a few days ago and a 10-year old tree felt the wrath and was blown over. See the picture, it would've fallen completely to the ground but it is resting on our fence. The first question is do you think this is salvageable? There is no way for a vehicle to...

Thanks again! I'll follow JeffGu's advice on pulling up some pavers myself to see what's underneath and determine next steps from there. It sounds more likely a fill/compact issue than anything else based on the responses here which ironically alleviates my stress level a bit. Conquistador3...

Thanks everyone for your insight. The house was brand new in 2007 and we hired a well respected pool company and I believe the pool was put in properly. The landscapers on the other hand, they probably short cut every possible corner and still charged us an arm and a leg. In fact, we've had...

A 10-year old tree's roots has started to degrade the hardscape area over the last couple years. My biggest concern is if it continues on it's path then it will probably affect the swimming pool. I've uploaded some pictures and am looking for your insight and recommendations. Do we have to...
