Tree roots are lifting my driveway in Lawrence
A ridge or hump running roughly toward the trunk; slabs tipped up at a lip you catch a toe on; cracks radiating from one corner; a driveway edge riding up while the center stays flat; asphalt domed with fine alligator cracking over the high point. Underneath it is almost always one or two large buttress roots, not a mat of fine ones.
Not urgent

A root adds diameter every year and concrete does not move aside, so it comes down to which is stronger, and a live structural root beats four inches of unreinforced slab. This is a property-damage and trip-hazard problem, not a tree-failure problem, and the tree is usually in good health. The important inversion is that the repair is what creates the hazard: the roots lifting your driveway are the buttress roots on one side of the trunk, and cutting them is precisely how a stable tree becomes an unstable one.
What this usually costs in Lawrence
This is normally a tree removal job, which around here runs $400 to $1,900 depending on size and access. Treat that as a range, not a quote — nobody can price it without seeing it.
What to have ready when they call
- A photo with the house in frame, so they can judge the scale
- Roughly how far it is from the house, the fence or the drive
- Whether a truck can get into the yard
- Whether there are power lines anywhere near it
