> 3 cracks from tree roots, 2 are very prominent at least 100-120mm high. When it rains a puddle forms and freezes becomes very slippery, tree roots are going to cause damage to my new fence and concrete on the other side, theres also a 3rd crack/tree root heading towards my drive. I am putting a new drive in this year and dont want that causing damage to the new drive either. They are getting alot worse and needs sorting asap. We have elderly people on our street and i know a lady has tripped on them so have myself. We have young kids on our street. There is also damage to the pavement further up the street towards the corner of our property,where the pavment has broken away to rubble. Theres also a crack running along the pavement for at least 5 meters from the 2 nd tree. The tree roots from this tree are also breaking up the pavement. That tree is also getting out of hand growing all over the place. Looks more like it needs to be chopped down and replaced. Those roots are heading towards my front gate and entrance. Ill be extremely annoyed if they damage our new fence and gate entrance. We have lived here for 5 years and put up with the pavement deteriorating, its about time someone came and fixed it and the cause. Not just patching so the the roots keep doing it
