Tree roots often result in damage to your Los Angeles home

As a Realtor, I have seen tree roots damage homes, garages and/or driveways sometimes resulting in tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage. 



Pictured is the tree in my front yard.  Do you notice how the roots have raised the lawn? According to John at Canada Tree Care:

My tree is a liquid amber, and the tree’s roots are mostly growing towards the street and after his examination, there appears to be no eminent danger to my home. For the present,  this tree and my home can peacefully co-exist. 

If you have tree troubles, contact John @ Canada Tree Care (818) 952-4036

We discovered that they were swarming around a tree near the house and driveway. I immediately contacted my neighbor, worried that if the tree was infested with termites that her home and mine would both be infested. Then I contacted, Tri-Pacific Termite. The verdict: my tree is diseased but not with termites... Maybe just ants, but the tree had been "eaten" through ...

      I wouldn't mind losing the tree, we hardly get any sun in our pool because of this tree and several other massive trees.
