[QUOTE="stocky, post: 1024916, member: 1150"] Thanks for the info and advice. There are 10 trees and the elms have 5-6 roots that are probably 6-8 inches in diameter going out 20 feet or so from the tree. The maples have root masses that are more like 50 feet in diameter that are smaller roots, but still stick up 4 inches or so out of the ground. All the roots are flat on top from the mower skinning them over the years with the mower set as high as it will go. The roots make the yard unusable for any recreational activity, and actually unsafe for walking, so it sounds like there is no remedy short of bulldozing out the trees and the roots and starting all over, just hate to do that with trees that have been here all my life.
