Place, dean for UF/IFAS Extension. Trees provide urban landscapes with shade, beauty, and habitat. They can also help lessen the effects of flooding and urban heat buildup while storing carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas. When planted in the wrong place, however, trees can damage urban infrastructure like sidewalks. Most of a tree’s roots, including the large structural roots, occur within the top two feet of soil. In urban settings, this means as the roots grow, they can displace or crack nearby sidewalks, roads, and curbs (Randrup et al. 2001). On the other hand, root-cutting activity that commonly occurs with the installation and repair of infrastructure can result in tree instability, decline in health, or even death (Benson et al. 2020). Shade trees such as live oaks (Quercus virginiana) are commonly planted in small planting areas, only to be removed a decade or so later when they begin damaging infrastructure or declining in health given limiting planting space.
