Default Please help! Poplar stump and its roots causing havoc


"ellison" wrote in message
...

My partner and I have recently purchased and moved into a house which
three Poplar large trees at the bottom of the garden just inside the
boundry fence, which backs onto a neighbours garden.

After discussion with neighbours the trees were chopped down to stump
level to stop them creating shade in our, and everyone elses, gardens.
After a couple of weeks shoots sprouted all over our lawn (like a foot
high forest in our garden). Neighbours on both sides, and at the back,
(and apparently even further afield) also have these shoots all over
their lawns, and also roots are disturbing patios and shed bases!


I used to got a lot of those after I cut down some Poplars in our old
Norfolk garden. I just kept mowing and they went away.
