What is the name of your state? VA
We were just sent a certified letter from a neighbor stating he was hiring someone to remove our tree roots that have grown above ground (1-2 inches....all trees in the neighborhood are this way....much worse too)....anyway, we were hiring a company to come out and "raise" our yard to cover the roots....his problem is he's worried the roots may one day grow into his foundation . If he does this we're worried our tree may die....it's also the only one we have in the back for shade for the kids and dogs....our trees are about 25+ feet from his house...
Can he do this legally? If he were trimming branches that's one this....but this can/may damage/kill our tree! We've contacted the HOA and am waiting for them to call back....until then we want to see what our options are. We wish they had just talked to us first instead of giving us a "no choice in the matter" letter.
Thank you for your time!
