I have an ash tree out front of my house. I had wanted to create a garden bed the length of my driveway about 1 foot wide. The problem is the ash tree drip line goes nearly to the edge of the driveway. Does this mean if I dig down to excavate a garden bed, say 3-4 inches, that I'll cut some roots of the tree? How much impact do you think that might have on the tree??
We were also thinking of getting concrete curbs for the drive way and I worry that that might also affect the tree...
any thoughts??
