The tree which are not in my stand but on the park , the roots have reached my garden and foundation of my house causing cracks at the back of the foundation. If left untreated will cause my house to have cracks and eventually fall down. Can the trees be cut or removed. I’m sure my neighbours are having same issues with the two tree behind our gardens. I look forward to hearing from you.
