I live in a estate planted with a lot of native Irish trees. There are some Horse Chestnut trees planted approx. 6 feet from my boundary wall and approx 10 feet from the gable end of my house. The trees are approx 10 years old and approx. 20ft high. The crowns are still qiute compact. The house is 11yrs old. Should I be worried about root damage? Do I need to have them removed or can the root spread be minimised by constant pruning of the crown?
