Hi, this weekend I planted a pair of laurels adjacent to the wall of my house to act as screening to my neighbours front garden, we intend to keep the laurels between 5 and 6 feet tall and quite shallow. My neighbour however has been kind enough to print out a number of leaflets on subsidence and has shown some concern as to the plants proximity to the wall. As we plan to keep the plants restricted in height and depth will the threat of subsidence be reduced or should we move the plants further away from the house.
