How do I deal with the shallow roots from a neighbor's tree invading my yard?
I think it's a type of birch tree, about 50 ft tall with a canopy of 30 ft maybe (just guessing), and it's right against the fenceline of our yard. It's a beautiful tree, but the shallow roots take up the entire space of yard on one side of our house (the distance from the fence to house is about 10 ft). It's getting very difficult to walk on them and we'd like to dig the roots up and put in some paving stones. Will this kill the tree? If it doesn't kill the tree will the roots just grow back and damage the walkway? Any suggestions??
Before you chop up the roots be aware that if you kill the tree you could be in serious legal trouble. Even if removing the roots did not kill the tree chances are great that they will return. There are other things you can do although you may not like it. You can built up the area with extra soil to cover the roots. Another thing is that you can talk to your neighbor about having it removed. Offer to pay for the removal and they may agree, or offer to pay half. We had a tree hanging over our house that was dying but it was not ours so we talked to the owners and they agreed to split the cost of having the tree removed. Of course you are looking at somewhere between $200-$400+ depending on the size of the tree. Just depends on how badly you want to get rid of it.
