<p class="MsoNormal">See Page 195 in Up By Roots. I believe that you can build a very substantial rod over tree roots Just have to build up with no cutting of existing grade and be vigilant in site inspections and specification to keep compaction out of the
rootzone. But the engineer will go bonkers. Geogrids are the most important part of the section detailed.<o:p></o:p></p>

analysis of mature tree retention. When upon closer scrutiny this analysis is found to be lacking the role of the consulting arborist (brought in at the 11<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>hour) is essentially to fit a square peg into
a round hole. In short, and without getting into too many specifics, has anyone had experience building a road over the roots of two mature sugar maples – 80-100 cm dbh (distance of road from base of trees is 1.2m!). And, yes, the trees must remain. I’m
sure many of you can relate to my frustration.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
