A River Birch root was shaved by a company to lay landscaping bricks will that hurt tree?

0 1

 

Some of the leaves on some of the branches of the trunk are a light green (almost yellow) and not dark green as the other leaves on the tree. What can I do to correct this.  It is a 4 clump River Birch approximately  30 years old and sits in clay.

End of April,  I applied Bayer Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed, as I do every year.

How can I help the tree.   I just love it and don't want to lose it.

THANK YOU - Jean

Spectricide has a spray that I use on our tree called prune & spray.....it sprays a product that seal any gaps called by cuts.  May need to spray again next year as the tree grows.....some people just use tar....this is easier to spray....just put some straight cut of cardboard down around the tree close to the bricks to keep the overspray off it..............shake spray and toss the cardboard....it would be easier to clean off the tip of the can now before it hardens up.
