My neighbors maple tree (one of 4) has roots that are growing in a glob in my flower bed about five feet by four feet. They have surfaced and I don't even have one inch of planting depth left. How do I remove them? The tree is hugely overgrown and about three feet from the fence. Some of the roots are 12 inches thick. They grow in a tangled mass. I want to be able to plant something. Thank you.
How do I remove tree roots that are creeping under my fence?
You can rent a stump grinder at the home improvement center and hack them out, but it is alot of work. You can also take a pick ax to them and hack them out yourself, but that is even more back breaking work. In either case, you may kill the entire tree, been there, done that. It is a little late now, but you could use root barriers once you hack them out to keep them from returning.
