if its lifting the pavement the city will often come remove it free of charge... the sidewalks, curbs, and in some cities even the parkway greenbelt are considered city property. A lifted section of cement in the sidewalk or street resulting from tree roots can be a safety/tripping hazard.
I see you're in SoCal so call your city hall and find out. My grandmother had a couple of large trees in her hard that started to lift the sidewalk and driveway. Ontario had a crew out within a week and removed the tree/ground the stumps, and planted saplings its place.
