I'm building a deck that will be flush with the ground. To do so I excavated down about 7". The deck is L-shaped, with the tree in the corner. I'm not sure what kind of tree it is. It's 25 years old, deciduous, 18" diameter, and about 35 to 40 feet tall. Can't get pictures of the leaf because they are just now starting to sprout. They fall off in November.
1.) How likely is it that what I've done will kill the tree?
2.) If I put the edge of the deck up against those cut roots (couple inches of a gap to keep an eye on it), will they continue to grow even being exposed? They wont be buried. Is there anything I can put on them to prevent the ends from growing?
3.) I know the pics are limited but does anyone have an idea of what type of tree this is?
Thanks
edit: for some reason it's not allowing me to upload the pics so they are located here: http://n8sbar.servebeer.com/index.p...ese-but-needed-to-clear-the-way-for-the-deck/
