Surface Root Grinding
Exposed tree roots can damage lawns, crack sidewalks, and become tripping hazards.
Western Hemlock Tree Services provides safe and effective surface root grinding in Snohomish, WA,
helping restore smooth, level ground while protecting your trees and property.
Safe Solutions for Exposed or Raised Roots
Over time, tree roots can grow above ground as they search for oxygen or water near the surface.
These raised roots not only ruin the look of your lawn but also create maintenance and safety issues.
Our surface root grinding service carefully removes and levels exposed roots without harming the tree’s
structural stability.

Surface Root Grinding FAQ
Will grinding surface roots harm my tree?
No. Our certified arborists identify and avoid essential structural roots, ensuring your tree remains stable and healthy after the process.
Can you grind roots near sidewalks or driveways?
Yes. We safely grind surface roots near paved areas to prevent further damage or lifting without harming nearby structures.
How deep do you grind surface roots?
Typically 2–4 inches below ground level, just enough to level the area while preserving root system integrity.
Do the roots grow back after grinding?
In most cases, the ground roots won’t regrow once properly leveled and maintained, especially if the area is covered with new soil or mulch.
