Hi,
We have two Norvegian maple trees here and are concerned about the possibility that they eventually damage the house foundations.
They are 35 and 38-year old, the youngest being 2.5' in diameter while the oldest is 3' in diameter. I had difficulty measuring the height (could not back off far enough) but they are at least 40' high.
Their branches cover a radius of around 26', which means that there are branches over the house for about 8'. Note that these were cut in the past, so they would probably be longer if they had not been cut.
Are they at risk to cause damages to the house foundations?
If so, are there any measures that can be taken to prevent this and not have to remove them?
Thanks,
Pierre-Luc
