Can fir trees interfere with building foundations




Answers

 

Sorry, this is impossible to answer without more info - what type of 'fir' tree and how close to the foundations in terms of feet or metres is necessary information.

The rule of thumb is to plant the fir no closer than 1/3 of the expected mature height. For most species, this means a distance of 30 feet or more from the foundation, and I would go at least 50 feet, for safety's sake.
