I am wanting to install a Stamped concrete patio behind our garage. 12'x18' is the size.
We have a very large Silver Maple tree in the back yard with many large roots on the top of the ground in the location we'd like to put the patio. Our concern is that these roots would grow up under the concrete and cause the patio to rise and or crack. We don't really want to cut these roots for fear that it may kill our nice shade tree. My question is will the roots cause damage? And will it kill our tree if we were to cut large surface roots?
Unfortunately I don't have photos at this time.
Thanks,
Randy Ray
