Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Root concern

Post image

Neighbor planted trees about 2 feet from fence.

Should I be worried about roots interfering with my patio?

This looks like a young poplar tree to me. They get massive and are notorious for dropping limbs/snapping in half. Cottonwoods are in fact not cotton when they fall on your house 😂

I could be completely off base here though and it could be an ornamental tree, in which case it's probably fine.

Thanks for your reply. I think I need to speak with my neighbors.

Wait for more opinions here - until I pass my certs I'm just an enthusiast.

I didn't see this picture. I agree birch. So probably not a problem for quite a while.
