Boundary issue

[muldonach]

To add a crucial piece of info to my boundary thread. I just spoke to the customer who told me that her bore-hole, from which all her water comes, and her septic tank are both 6-feet form a 50 pine tree. Its roots are the main issue not the lack of light to her veg garden. And the opposed neighbour has agreed to split the cost of the tree work. So it seems to be just a question of how much tree work? and when to do it? I'll still need to tread with caution. There sure is a lot to consider so I shall stand aside once I have said my bit.

 

 

Unless there are two separate pine trees a long way apart that does not sound like a likely combination

They should be 50m apart.

Like all the Guys previous to me said - Do not get involved unless you have a written spec signed and agreed by both parties.(if they are happy with the spec they will be happy to sign if they are not happy to sign they will be trouble). If you are concerned regarding root damage/soil movement affecting or damaging bore hole etc then get an Arb consultant to do a report (paid for by client). Otherwise will be loads of hassle.
