Goaty Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Work round then if they are big. Move the post spacing, The tree is more long term than the fence. Most reasonable clients understand, I wouldn't want to get pigeon holed with the inconsiderate behaviour of some utility and construction industry companies. I have bashed through roots and even axed the odd occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
