I am new to this site and have a question about my oak trees that I am hoping someone can help me with. I live in the Texas Hill Country north of San Antonio. We have primarily Texas Live Oaks on our property. We hired someone to run electricity from our house to an outbuilding. When they dug the trench, they cut too close to some of our Live Oaks. They trenched about 12" deep and right between two trees which were about 10-12 feet apart (so about 5-6 feet from the base of each tree). In looking in the trench, I saw two roots about 3" in diameter that were cut, along with some smaller stringy-type roots. The trees are probably about 12"-18" in diameter.
I am very concerned for the health of my trees. Can anyone tell me what impact this might have on the trees and if there is anything I can do about it? Thank you.
