Trenching Near a Tree
I need to trench 18” deep to lay ground wire to add electricity to my garage. A lot of people are telling me that trees are resilient and will be fine, but just in the first few minutes I hit so many roots. I’m concerned this could have bad effects on the tree long term. Has anyone ever dug this close to a tree? Is it a bad idea. I believe it’s a maple tree if that matters. submitted by /u/_Indecisive__ [link] [comments]
