I appreciate your responses. The Oak is not Juvenile, I'd venture to guess that it is at least 50-75 years old. The two roots that i need to cut i think are pretty major roots, i have not dug around to see exactly how large they are but they are somewhat on the surface and seem to be pretty thick. (thick enough that they have taken lawn mower abuse of the years). The patio i want to put in is right next to the house, so there wont be anything covering other roots that are not already covered by the house. I don't plan on cutting any roots other than the 2 that are on the surface so that i can level the ground for the patio. The patio is only going to be "bricks" laid down on the surface of the soil leveled at about 3" below the surface.
