What is the closest a tree should be to a house?
Generally, trees should sit about 15 feet away from a house. This distance helps to ensure that the tree has enough room to grow without posing a threat to your property. There is nothing written into law that states how tall a tree can be, even when it is near a home. Of course, some trees, once they reach a certain height pose more risk than others and could cause damage to your home and other properties should they fall.If positioned too closely to your home, a maturing tree can take root and slowly push your house out of the way. We recommend planting trees at least 15-20 feet away from your house to prevent problems with roots or overhanging branches.Having said this, it is not wise to plant a tree that has the capacity to grow to beyond 20 feet within 10 metres of a building. Tree roots need an equal blend of both oxygen and water in which to thrive and colonize.
