Kill tree, lift slab (if possible), dig out root, re-level and re-lay slab.

I've lifted some pretty big slabs back in the day, I'm not saying it was easy or nice, and you will need help, but it can be done

>>1011176
if you don't remove the tree the root will likely increase in size as the tree grows
it is therefore pointless to try to 'modify' it with a ramp

>>1011186
if you remove the tree then you can just relevel and re lay th slab, therefore it is pointless to modify it

so in conclusion
don't bother getting it 'cut'

>>1011186
Mhm, I hear ya.
Any advice on lifting the whole slab? Tools?

That tree gives good shade, I might wait until the other tree next to it is big enough to take over. Any temporary fix ideas, disregarding aesthetics?

You may want to consider foam jacking. I believe it is most commonly used when the foundation sinks instead of becomes raised, but you may want to contact a foam jacking company to give you an estimate. As for the tree, you may want to either cut it down or dig up and extract the root.

Might be perfect, or might cause the same problem on the other side. Maybe if I keep something heavy on that other side it won't. Thanks, that's something to consider

Demo saw and a shale bar.

Don't cu tthe tree, i'm not a tree huger but for fuck sake, trees take a big fucking long to grow.

Just dig the root, cut it in a way it can't regrow, level and lay the slabs, it's easy bro.

Chissle down the lifted edge so it becomes flush with the lower surface, it'd at least get rid of the tripping hazard. slabs can always be repaired or replaced.

smartest, best way to go about it is

remove slab, dig up root, cut it off, block root with something like wood that'll force the root to grow in another direction.

>>1011176
You dont need to kill the tree, just lift the slab and chop out the root. Leave a straight, clean cut so the tree doesn't get infected and die on you. Make sure you tamp the ground and have sand to level everything when you relay the slab and bricks or they will all shift.

>>1011176
You probably can't lift that slab I'd say use a bottle or scissor jack to prop it up, then brace it in place. Geotextile is good for preventing roots from returning or new roots from invading.

Maybe build a small ramp out of a wedge of wood to sorta level them out?

I don't know what these other guys are thinking of, but I've never seen slabs moved by anything less than a Bobcat.
