Neighbours tree is lifting my patio. It's almost 3 years since I told her about it. She said hers was fine. I told her it could be damaging our foundations. In 2020 I didn't persue it because of Covid. Last year she said she would get her son to look at it, he didn't turn up. She is in her 70s & lives alone so I haven't wanted to pester. But last summer we had a surveyor to look at something else, we showed him the tree & the root damage, & were told it will be damaging our foundations & could make it hard to sell our house, & possibly affect the insurance. I told the neighbour, again she said she would send her son, & again he didn't come. Today I went to see her again. She said someone is coming to trim it next week. She wants is cut to 'privacy height'. I told her that's no good as the tree will still grow, & therefore the roots will still be causing damage. She says she also had a surveyor out & has been told that is all that needs to be done.
AIBU in thinking that trimming the tree is not enough to stop it causing damage?
