How do you cover up large live oak tree roots?
The tree is huge 34 years old, I want some grass in my backyard but the tree roots are running everywhere. Do I just bring in top soil and cover them up then add sod?
Apply Round Up with a sponge directly to those roots only to kill the base of the plant.
Make sure the roots are not tree or shrub 'runners' looking for water in this dry summer. If they are, you can simply cut them back with a sharp shovel.
Are there any trees around? Big roots can extend for 100 feet depending on the tree. If it's not a tree, then use a reciprocating saw (SawZall) and cut the roots out. Use roofing paint for mobile homes to seal the cut root so nothing can grow again. Then spray root poison for exposed poison ivy to kill the root completely. Tough to kill.
My pleasure. Wisteria is hard to kill off.
