When tree roots near a foundation are a problem

Tree roots near a foundation are a common worry, but the risk depends on the tree, the soil and the distance. In Edmonton's clay soils, large thirsty trees close to a house can contribute to soil movement and, in some cases, foundation issues, though roots rarely break through sound concrete on their own.

The answer is rarely to panic and remove the tree. Often the right move is managing the tree, root pruning, or in some cases removal. We assess honestly and never push a removal you do not need.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can tree roots really damage my foundation?
They can contribute to problems, especially large thirsty trees in clay soil that dries and shrinks, but roots rarely crack sound concrete directly. The real risk depends on the tree, distance and soil, which is why an assessment matters.
How far should a tree be from my house?
It depends on the species and its mature size. Big trees should be well back, but many trees are perfectly safe close to a house. We can advise for your specific tree.
Should I remove a tree near my foundation?
Not always. Often the tree can be managed with pruning or root pruning instead. We give you an honest opinion rather than defaulting to removal.
Can you prune roots safely?
Sometimes, where it helps and does not destabilise the tree. Root pruning has to be done carefully, since cutting too much can make a tree unsafe. We assess before doing any.
