Re: Queensland Australia Fence Line Law Well, these two neighbours co-operated well.
About roots, here's a good example and could happen. The guy on the left tows his big boat along that fenceline to the rear of the yard. It's a slight uphill grade and the truck/chipper had a hard time on that lawn spinning wheels.
Now imagine if the guy on the left wants to concrete a driveway along there and in the process digs down the 125mm for concrete, he will damage roots.
That's the things you need to consider when planting out fencelines.
In this instance there were no surface roots, nothing to see, but if they were ficus or tipuana trees then there'd be hell to pay! |
