Not just oaks
I agree that trees as large as oaks and maples do not belong near your house. My court yard villa backs to another villa that has a medium size maple in their back yard. The branches of which will soon be hanging over our joint wall. The problem with maples is the leaves falling in the fall, and the winged seeds in the spring. However, my main concern, is the roots, maples have surface roots that bulge up through the surface. This could be detrimental to our shared wall. What are people thinking when they plant such big trees in tiny yards?
