thank you
We also have viburnum. First of all it is a large family group like many other plants.
Mine, put in by the builder are tough as nails for many of us, the plants are in beds.
If, you poke about you will find the bushes, hedges have an extensive root system.
Your bushes may well have sent roots into your neighbors property and or into your lawn.
