Two flag stones (there are many more), protruding 2 inches above ground level. They are a serious trip hazard.

The flag stones are being pushed up by the tree roots. The trees are causing significant damage and need to be felled.

I've attached a photo of the previous repairs, and adding cement to the raised edge (of the flag stone) does not reduce the risk of tripping and falling.

The tree roots are creating an uneven surface to walk on, and the cement is pointless. An uneven walkway is still a trip/ stumble/ fall hazard.

Money is wasted on these repairs. There is only one choice ( that is cost effective and longstanding), and that is to fell the trees.

Please fell the trees.

Thank you.
