Not just the aesthetic appearance of the area suffers a setback, but several other issues are too to affect the curb appeal as well as the overall functionality of the area. 

For example – these roots can cause trip hazards or in uneven driveway surfaces that can cause damage to vehicles and pedestrians. People walking on these driveways, walkways, etc. can suffer an accident, injuries, etc. because of these roots.
