Root Removal in Stratford, ON
Surface and exposed root removal to reclaim your lawn and protect foundations.
After a tree comes down, surface roots can still trip you up, wreck mower blades, and threaten foundations or pipes. We grind and remove exposed roots, then grade the area so your lawn is safe, flat, and usable again.
Benefits of root removal

No more roots to dull blades or stall your mower — a smooth, flat lawn.
Pairs with grinding
Add root removal to any stump grinding job for a fully cleared site.

Root Removal FAQs
Can you remove roots from a living tree?+
We only remove roots from trees that have been removed, or surface roots clearly safe to cut. Removing major roots from a healthy tree can destabilize it — we'll advise first.
Will removing roots leave holes?+
Some settling is normal. We backfill shallow voids and can top-dress and seed so the lawn recovers smoothly.
Do roots grow back?+
Once ground below grade, the remaining roots decompose and won't resprout. New growth is rare after proper removal.
