While a tree’s root system is usually found deep in the ground, there are instances where the roots will start to curl or snake upwards until they reach the surface. There are a couple of reasons why this can happen. If the tree was planted on a slope, the roots may poke aboveground. Wind, rain and runoff can also erode the soil in a serious enough way that the tree roots become exposed. But no worries – there are a couple of things you can do to mitigate this.
In Part 2 of our blog series, the expert in lighting design landscape, Backyard Reflections, shares how to cover and protect exposed tree roots in your outdoor space.
This makes the landscape look cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing, while also keeping the roots moisturized. Apart from these, mulching the exposed tree roots helps discourage foot traffic near the tree and insulates them against extreme weather exposure.
