[QUOTE="Kneejerk Bombas, post: 113621, member: 3795"] Here's where a picture is important. It's not as simple as Guy's formula. Roots grow where conditions are best, so if there is a street on one side, you'll have fewer roots there, for example. As you go farther from the tree there are fewer roots, but studies have found roots 5 times the height of the tree away. Every situation is a little different. The trench dug for a lawn sprinkler is less catastrophic than other trenches because they are quite shallow. How far away from the tree was the trench, and what is the tree's trunk diameter at chest height? [/QUOTE]
