Burke VA has a lot of trees, so it should come as no surprise that many homeowners there find that they have issues with invasive tree roots and their paver patios. Precautions should be taken to prevent damage and repair paver patios as soon as possible.
Prior to installing a paver patio, tree roots should be removed. That’s because tree roots will cause problems with how the pavers lay – either jacked up by the roots – or if the roots die, the pavers will dip or cave into that void.
Prevention
Before installation, there are three ways to prevent invasive roots from damaging paver patios in Burke, VA:
- Patio installers can leave at least 3-6 feet of space between the trees and the edge or the pavers.
- Patio installers can build a cement barrier into the soil to prevent the tree roots from reaching the paver patio
- Landscapers can remove the trees, stumps, and the tree roots.
Repairing Paver Patios
If you have a cement patio, invasive tree roots could cost you thousands. But lucky you, you chose to go with pavers for your patio. That means that the pavers can be removed, the root problem addressed by a professional landscaper, and then the pavers can be reinstalled. Your paver patio will look good as new afterwards.
