Tree roots under my lawn!
While walking on the grass in my bare feet at the weekend, I noticed a
bobbily bit under foot. On closer inspection I found it was a tree root
from a tree about 10-12 metres away, outside of the garden. I pulled it up
as much as I could, creating a rip right across the grass before it seemed
to go deeper forcing me to cut it - still about 2m inside the lawn.
Can these tree roots have any adverse effects on the lawn (hogging the water
etc.) and is there a best practice for getting rid of them?
TIA
