I want to upgrade my sprinkler pipes from the old steel pipes to
the new pvc pipes. The steel pipes have been there since 1976 and
I think their have interior corrosion that's reducing the water
pressure. There is a large tree in my front yard with lots of
roots that have grown arround the steel sprinkler laterals. Does
anyone have a creative suggest for replacing these pipes without
injuring the tree?


How far from the trunk are the pipes?


who cares?? I would just dig up the roots, as the roots should not
to be buried because they need air and water right?
