Or perhaps the palm was there first & someone installed the sidewalk or driveway too close.

Ralph, my neighbor, was cutting it down for the lady who got hurt and told me the story. Confirmed by my yard guy as I am going to have one removed as it is doing EXACTLY the same thing on my golfcart garage driveway. Don't know nuthin' bout roots but these folks seem to know what they are talking about....it was a big tree.....11 year old house
