Under such unforeseen circumstances, trees can topple over, break their branches and lead to other hazards. The problems are restricted to property damage, disturbance in utility lines, and entrance blockages.

Arborists suggest beginning with the soil
If you’re planting saplings, remember it takes three years for the roots to get established. During the initial years of establishment, a broad root base is a major concern for a tree top. Do not keep the soil compacted. New trees require a space of around 4 feet to spread.
Planting root balls 1.5 inches above the soil level will prevent the tree from watering pools. Inefficient root ball planting can cause poorly supported future roots.
Selecting a good place to plant trees is essential and a decision you should make in collaboration with an arborist. Trees that are 45 feet tall should be planted 15 feet away from the building and 30ft away from other trees, and 8-ft away from concrete flooring.
Trees need root and crown area. If you have your foundation or sidewalk, your tree root system will not flourish.

Remove the trees which are in an inappropriate environment

The same stands true when the ground is soggy. Both conditions lead to poor rooting, and most likely, the tree will fall under extreme weather conditions.
