What happens here

Begin by observing existing tree borders, particularly those made of pavers. Look for clear signs of tree roots pushing up the pavers, causing an uneven surface. The video demonstrates how these strong, growing roots can lift paver borders, making them unstable and creating a tripping hazard. This initial observation helps confirm the necessity of a border replacement project.

Goal: Assess existing tree borders for root-related issues.

Tools and materials

  • Existing paver border N/A — The subject of inspection for damage and root interference
  • Tree N/A — The central element whose roots are causing the problem with the border
