Hello Everyone. I had a large mesquite tree cut down 5 yrs. ago, because the roots were starting to lift my concrete patio. The tree pro said the tree stump and roots would die naturally once the tree was cut down, as long as I prevented any regrowth, which I did. The tree stump has no outer bark left, is bleached out and looks dead, but my patio has more cracking. Could the roots still be alive? Don't know what to do now. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
