Talking of trees and apologies for hijacking, we have 5-7 mature leylandi growing up against the fence in our neighbours garden which must be 30 feet + tall. Haven't been too bothered about them as we have hardly any windows on that side of the house.

Anyhoo, the concrete in the surrounding pathways just on this side of the house is starting to crack - could the trees be responsible as they are immediately adjacent to the paths (and my house, more worryingly).

Leylandi shouldn't really lift them, if that's what happening They have one big tap root that goes straight down then piddly ones that go sideways.

What they do do is take ALL the moisture out of the soil and paving can sink as a consequence.
