Risk to (waste) water pipes from tree/shrub roots

: Envy you. ops:

Still don't know what to do now.

Can't imagine just leaving the bare house wall as it is. And I couldn't imagine anything more beautiful than a fruit tree or a fruit espalier there.

Don't know yet what to do now. .

Didn’t have to. You will come up with something. Do you know exactly where the line goes based on a site plan?

We would have had this problem if the floor plan had not been mirrored at our request. But our trench is now 70 m long. The earthworks are not yet completed.

Since yesterday, I can relate to you: trenches were dug in the yard. For gas and water. The neighboring house needs to be newly connected to water. Where the excavator dug the pilot hole, I wanted to plant a black locust tree. Now I have to come up with something else so that the driveway doesn’t remain just gray (paving). That would be too dull for me.

: Oh-oh, welcome to the club, as the saying goes unpleasantly. Let me know if you find out anything about plants that can be used near these lines.

Will do. I need to go to the local garden center in the next few days. Maybe they have an idea there.

The only plants I have so far been able to research as truly absolutely safe regarding the pipes are grass and flower bulbs... and probably what you can sow as annual plants... :rolleyes _O
