Default Tree too close to house?

Hello,
Another question about the plants in my new garden..
We've got this maple (I think) growing very close to the house. *It
comes out of the ground just 4 inches or so away from the wall. *I
can't imagine why someone would have purposely planted it like that,
yet there it is, growing very happily. *Is this kind of tree going to
cause problems? *Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks,
Lanna

No tree should be that close to your house... it will cause problems
with the tree & your foundation. If you want to keep the tree, simply
transplant it or have a landscaping company do it for you if you don't
feel comfortable with it.
