Construction Damage
Protect the tree roots from soil compaction, paving, or mechanical damage. Remember that tree roots extend two to three times the width of the canopy. Roots are required for structural stability and for supplying water and nutrients. The amount of damage a tree can suffer from root loss depends on how close the cut is made to the trunk. Severing one major root can cause the loss of a majority of the root system.
Insect & Disease Monitoring
Monitor for pest problems on a regular basis and treat only if necessary. Some pests can damage or kill plants, but not all insects and disease organisms pose a significant threat or require treatment. By first identifying the problem, it can be determined if any treatment is necessary.
Tree & Turf Grass Root Competition
Turfgrass roots colonize the top two to three inch layer of soil while tree roots are concentrated in the top six to twelve inches of soil. Because of these root depths, trees and turfgrasses compete for the same soil nutrients and moisture. Turfgrass may compete more successfully than the tree for water and nutrients, especially if established before the tree. Mulching eliminates some of this competition by allowing only the tree to use the nutrients and water applied under the tree. Most turf grasses do not grow well in heavy shade anyway.
