I live in a "manufactured home park" (trailer park) in southeast Michigan. We have a pretty large maple tree (unsure of the exact kind--I'm no expert) in our yard and a portion of the roots have become exposed above ground. I would say a portion of the roots about 3 inches wide by 12 inches long by 5 inches tall have been exposed directly under the skirting of our neighbor's trailer. This is causing the skirting to be lifted by 4-5 inches.
This seems to bother him (although, personally, I see no harm in this) to the point where he wants to take some kind of sharp-edged tool and cut it up so it isn't affecting his skirting.
Unsure of how we can prevent him from doing this, I would like to know if this will cause much harm to the tree. Perhaps he'll listen if I can relay some useful information to him.
I have searched the forums and found similar posts but not quite like this. If you could please help out ASAP, it would be great because the neighbor plans on doing this in the next few days.
Thanks
