Hi,
I would need to expertise on this matter.
I have a tall mature tree, that is passing through my roof.
My worry is that the roots could damage the slab foundations in the future, or damage a drain pipe underground.
I had a few estimates from contractors, from $2000 to $3000
One contractor told me to keep the tree, because it is already mature, and the roots are already developed, and the roots should not be an issue.
As well cutting this tree is dangerous because the roof is right under it.
What is your opinion ? Should I cut the whole tree, or only the lower limb that is close to the roof ?
Appreciate your expertise and advices
