Recently the forested area behind our house was cleared to make room for a new apartment complex. They left a line of trees on the border of the two properties, including a massive beast of a tree right behind my house. They cleared, and dug down a ways, right next to the tree (see attached pictures). How worried should I be about damage to the root system and risk to my house from the tree dying? The tree is definitely big and close enough to do some damage to the house and I'm worried about my daughter playing in the back yard.
Is this just something that i should definitely get an arborist out to assess or am I being over-cautious?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance!
