Is there a sure-fire way to get rid of Creeping Charley?
cut the tree roots with a Sawsall it will be so much easier to dig out the area. And by cutting the roots it won't hurt the tree at all. You can purchase a SWsall for $50 or so and save yourself a ton of work
I was just going to say Reciprocating Saw or Sawsall (same thing) too. I just used one to remove roots in our side garden. A new blade will cut through them quickly and easily. Don't forget your safety glasses. :)
We used a Chain Saw. Could Not believe how BIG & how Many there were under our foundation! To bad it didn't kill the trees.
Difficult, tedious work! Sawsall, or two if you can find a helper!
A chain saw - and yes, get some help! Good luck!
