Atlantic Beach, FL 32233
Per your request we have visited the property at the above address on
2/26/2024 and our findings are as follows:
A. 17” DBH and 19” DBH laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia) – these trees are in
raised beds that border the sidewalk. It appears that most of the root system on
the west side of both trees were severed at some point to install the sidewalk.
The root systems have continually heaved because of the cutting of the roots
further weakening the root system. The root systems have encroached the
sidewalk and as a result, the sidewalk is lifting and cracking. Although these
trees appear to have normal, healthy vigorous growth, the defect is in the
anchorage on the west side of each tree. Targets in the fall zone of these trees
are houses, the driveway, roadway, and pedestrians on the sidewalk. Using the
TRAQ Matrix, these trees have a HIGH overall risk rating. There is no way to
mitigate the severed root systems. If the sidewalk is repaired and the roots
under the sidewalk are removed, this will further increase the overall risk rating
and failure probability. Pictures are attached.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
