I gotta redo a drive way strip that a redwood tree uplifted. It's one of

the driveway strip should be so the lady wants to pour around the roots.
Makes sense to me.

That makes sense to you? The roots are flush with the top of where
the new pour is going and you think it's ok to just pour concrete
around them? Should look great. And regardless of how it looks,
it's going to fail. Even if the roots are just BELOW the concrete
they will eventually cause it to beak up.

he sounds more like Major Dumbass.
