Tree roots under brick driveway. I have a clay brick driveway and the very last space is messed up by the tree roots of the oak right next to it. The pavers company suggests to remove all the affected and use a stump grinder to grind down 6-8 inches, add sand to re-level, compact and put the bricks back. If a stump grinder is used to chew up ...
Cut the roots and install a root barrier 24" depth to keep the roots from growing again under the patio. A clean cut on the roots will heal better than a ragged cut. If you are cutting large roots - 2-3" in diameter or more- you may damage the tree. The further away the cuts are from the tree, the less likely you are to cause damage. These are ...
The roots weren't that deep, maybe a foot or so. There was one or two heavy ones that would travel out horizontally. Those are the ones I tried to find with the maddock and chop through them, and then give them a big yank. If the polaris wouldn't have done it, I was going to get the jeep wrangler out and show em who's boss. Mike Hawkins

You want 12" blades for what you're doing (cutting roots in the dirt). A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words. Especially In The DIY Chatroom.
C is a connection (we will find) close to the curb. Option-1: Dig up the area near B, where most roots are (as seen in video footage from last 2-3 years). Is roughly 30" deep here. Do a spot treatment (As was suggested by sewer inspector).
Step one, you need to get your system inspected. I do not recommend this as a DIY, since you need to get your tank pumped, and the tank must then be inspected. Inspecting a septic tank is VERY DANGEROUS, since the tank may be filled with toxic gases, and even after pumping entering the tank requires special training, and special equipment. Once ...
Here you can see the root runs from the right to the left and then it makes a 90 degree turn to go down and south you can see it coming back up near the bottom of the picture. The path of this root is pretty much the same as that of the underground line to the gas meter. The root here is about 5"-6" in diameter.
Jackofall1. Go out an get some copper sulphate, drill a hole down the center of the stump about 1" diameter and fill with copper sulphate. Wait about 2-3 mnths removal should be a sinch then. Copper could leach and damage other plants subject to the run off. It is highly toxic to them.
When I was cutting out tree roots from a tree that was removed, I did use a reciprocating saw and a heavy kerf Diablo blade with 3 teeth per inch. It was designed for pruning but I used it to cut roots after reading many reviews on Amazon. Freud DS0903CP Diablo 9" Carbide Pruning Reciprocating Blade. Work Safe!
The water slows down the curing time and will make that concrete stronger. The best way to make the top water resistant is to trowel it with a steel concrete trowel. A smooth finish is more water resistant. Let it set for a week or so before you drill any holes. 650 CC on the track 800 CC on the snow. 1000 CC on the street.
