Default Re: Soil subsidence and trees

And hence it should be.

Frankly, if something in your property does damage to mine, then you pay.

Fair and simple.

You want a tree, then ensure it does not trespass either above or below the ground.

Installation of an adequate root barrier would also have prevented the problem. If the tree owner thinks it unreasonable to fork out say $10,000 for an engineered suitable concrete permanent root barrier then how could they consider it fair and reasonable for the victim to fork out much more than that?

Thanks Roller
