I have 2 red maple trees that are about 30 ft. high. One in the back yard has roots exposed that I have tried to fix by adding light layer of topsoil and seed to raise the level of ground ( shade has pretty much killed out previous grass).
The roots have now grown above that attempt and has caused unrepairable damage to a couple mowers from helpers doing lawn work for me. The front tree causes me to have roto-rooter here every 2 years to cut out roots from sewer line plus the roots have been getting higher there also. Can I just cut out the roots that are exposed without killing tree or would removal be my best option.
