    Could you build some pathways out of cedar or pressure treated? Kind of like boardwalks. It could be quite easy to hire someone to build, too. :)

    Dangerous idea. If you could afford it have them removed professionally

    HI Col,

    Just so you know, some kinds of trees need their roots above ground in order to survive. Please don't let someone cut the out because it can kill the tree. :( Wishing you the best. Linda

    I had an arborist come in and assess the situation. They found that they could grind the roots with a stump grinder. They took care not to cut them so much that the tree would be damaged. I'm very pleased with the results. It was not very expensive and saved me from a fall.
