I am trying to figure what I should do about two trees (both of the same kind) near the pool. The
roots are causing cracks in the pool deck.
The root of one of those trees runs very close to the pool and along it for 3 feet causing a crack in the
concrete on the pool deck approximately 1 foot from the pool. There is no crack or bulge on the
interior of the pool.
The deciduous tree is about 15-20 feet tall and has been around for a long time, 10-15 years. A pool inspector's
report said that it would be ok to keep that kind of tree around and that the pool's
structure would not be damaged. I don't know what kind of tree this is - see pictures below.
Attached are four pictures.
Picture 1: tree in late summer, (unfortunately I won't have close up pictures of the leaves until later in spring)
Picture 2: tree in Feb - This pool is in Fremont, CA
Picture 3: root running close to the pool within 1 foot of the edge. The trunk is only 2 feet away from the edge.
Picture 4: cracks in the concrete bordering the pool
The pool is due for resurfacing. Do I need to address this problem during remodeling?
I would like to keep those trees if I have the choice.
Thank you,
