Fallen trees.

Anyone notice the root damage to the trees fallen in their area?
It seems to me that the way trees used to fall in the good old days was
with a ruck of soil upheaval with a root-ball of sorts.
I noticed a number of trees in council "tended" areas with the break
right at the foot of the bole. Is this something to do with the price
of weedkilling?
Or is it just my point of view about the muddy rings the chancers
working for council garden departments leave around the trunks of trees
that are supposed to be in their care, clouding my vision?
As others have said, most council tree's are just left alone, with
minimal weedkilling slowly killing them, or as my local oaks suffer with
root crushing and suffocation due to dumping of spoil etc when people
extend their houses. No the council won't clear the crushing spoil, too
costly, but they won't maintain the trees either, just slap preservation
orders on them all...
legislation is so much cheaper than actually addressing problems.
