Professional Exposed Root Pruning Services

Exposed Root Pruning

At Clear It Up Removal, exposed tree roots are treated as what they often become—a real safety hazard. Uneven roots can create dangerous walking surfaces, especially in areas where kids play, guests walk, or routine yard work takes place. This service focuses on reducing those risks and making your outdoor space safer and more manageable.

Why Address Exposed Roots?

Eliminate Trip Hazards
Roots that rise above the surface can easily catch a foot—whether it’s kids running through the yard, someone walking through the grass, or normal foot traffic. Smoothing these areas helps reduce the risk of trips and falls.

Prevent Interference with Lawn Care
Exposed roots often get clipped by lawnmowers or hit during routine yard work. This not only makes mowing more difficult but can also create additional hazards or damage equipment.

Protect Hardscapes
Roots growing near walkways, driveways, or patios can begin to interfere with these surfaces. Addressing them early helps prevent shifting, lifting, or damage to nearby hardscapes.

Improve Overall Appearance
While safety is the priority, reducing exposed roots also creates a more even, usable yard without raised or uneven patches.

Our Approach

After you call (407) 385-5400, the area is reviewed and a plan is made based on the level of exposure and surrounding conditions. The goal is to reduce surface hazards while minimizing unnecessary disturbance.

This service is focused strictly on hazard reduction—not tree care or arborist work. Root pruning is performed carefully, but it is not intended to preserve or improve tree health.

All work is insured, and each job is handled with a strong emphasis on safety from start to finish.

Getting a Price

In most cases, pictures are enough to provide a quote. For the fastest response, send detailed photos or videos of the exposed roots and surrounding area along with what you’re looking to accomplish.

If the job involves obstacles, limited access, hard-to-see conditions, or anything outside a typical scope, an in-person estimate may be scheduled to properly assess the situation.

You can expect a response in less than 24 hours after an inquiry to review your request and provide next steps.

Important Note

This service is intended to address surface-level hazards caused by exposed roots. It does not include arborist evaluation or guarantees regarding tree health, as outlined in the service agreement.
