My neighbour has said in the past that he is worried about subsidence being caused by the willow tree on his front lawn. He thinks the roots will suck up all the moisture and cause the soil to shrink.

I just told him dont worry about it, your foundations are probably deep enough.

Does anyone know about trees doing this.

I seem to remember a story in a gardening program with Alan Titschmarch a few years ago discussing this.
