Invasive roots from neighboring tree
#2
Another problem you might have is that the tree's been there longer than you have, not sure of the legalities concerned by this.

I have a  Geometry Tree in a raised area, about 15' in diameter, surrounded with a rock wall in our front yard.
It sends roots out under the rock wall that snake around the surface of the surrounding lawn.
The biggest problems are riding the mower and walking over them, a bumpy ride and tripping.
Where they go under the wall, I dig the dirt from under them, cut them off with an ax, hook onto them with the car and pull them up - taking care to not do damage with the car.
Have never had any regrowth after pulling the roots out, but do have more roots getting big enough to be pulled.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
