Why Are Ash Tree Roots Appearing Above Ground?

Many homeowners become concerned when large roots begin appearing above the surface of the soil around an ash tree. While exposed roots often seem alarming, they may develop gradually over many years and may be influenced by several different factors.

Exposed roots can develop because of soil erosion, shallow root growth, irrigation patterns, compacted soil, changing grade levels, environmental conditions, and other factors affecting tree growth. In some situations exposed roots may be harmless, while in other cases they may be associated with additional tree health concerns.

Homeowners should also watch for other symptoms such as yellow leaves, dead branches, bark damage, leaf loss, thinning foliage, poor growth, and overall canopy decline. Looking at all symptoms together often provides a better understanding of what may be affecting tree health.
