Live Oak tree roots are about 15' and 20' from location of proposed perimeter foundation. Since trees are on the marsh there are no roots on that side of the tree.
I'm very concerned that cutting roots in the photos will have very bad consequences down the road even if they are cut cleanly and have mulch put around them.
I've asked my contractor to check with the structural engineer about alternate methods of construction, like putting the home addition or part of it on piles.
Any suggestions as to cutting roots and treating tree or as to alternate construction methods to help me deal with my concerns?
