Will Cutting a Tree Root Kill the Tree

Cutting tree roots may look like an easy solution, but doing it incorrectly can weaken the tree, cause long-term damage, or even lead to it's death.
Important Guidance:
-
Avoid cutting roots larger than two inches in diameter, and never remove more than 15% of the root system at one time.
-
Make cuts at a distance of at least five times the trunk's diameter from the tree to reduce stress.
-
The safest seasons for root pruning are winter or early spring, when the tree is dormant.
-
Whenever you're unsure, it's best to contact a certified arborist for professional guidance.
Need another option? Consider topdressing the lawn with a mix of compost and sand to smooth out uneven spots. This doesn't involve cutting roots, making it a safe alternative.
