We've plannted some conifer trees in our front garden, which are quite close to our house. We wonder if their roots will grow so big and long that will damage our house? such as our under-piped? It's been there for 11 years now and they are about 7 ft. tall.

Having just got our subsidence in our two bays windows sorted out Cath, caused by a street tree 15' from our front door, I would say get rid of your tree before they become too big to handle, they could be huge one day, although conifer are fairly shallow rooted, they all seek water from somewhere and they could damage drains & pipes etc. and then go on to affect your home.

Thank you , my garden friends ! I 've just upload some photos on these conifer trees.
But i think I will follow Grandmage's advise and get rid of them soon.

These look Cath. like the slower growing variety of conifer, but I wouldnt chance it, Maybe remove them and make a nice border of smaller plants of which there are many to choose from. They look nice in your photo but it is what is going on underground that matters!

What type of conifers are they and how close do they stand to your house?
