Protruding sugar maple tree roots above ground
I have a very old Sugar Maple tree in my front yard that has roots that have surfaced above the ground. I have to have someone out yearly to roto-root my sewer sysems due to tree roots. This is the only tree in the front yard. My problem is: when I move I hit these above ground roots. They are taking over my front yard. Seems like they are protruding higher every year. Can I grind down the roots that are protruding? Is this an indication that my tree is dying? What can I do about sewer roots?
