Hi there,

I am planning to plant some tress in my backyard. I'm worried though
about eventual damage by roots growing into my house's foundation (we
do have a basement).

Specifically, I'm considering planting a Japanese maple. I'm thinking
of planting this 20 to 25 feet away from the house. Is this sufficient?

I would like to keep an open mind about other trees. Are there
particular species I should be worried about in terms of their roots
damaging my house's foundation?? (eg. Oak, Maple, etc.)? I can plant as
far away as 60 feet away from the house.

Thanks so much for the help!
