Answer #1

According to many construction specialists and biologists, the underground span of a tree is almost equal to the surface it covers above the soil. It is thus always recommended to maintain a reasonable distance outside the drip line of the tree, i.e, the space located directly under the outer circumference of the tree provided the branches have not been trimmed. If the branches have been trimmed, extra precautions must be taken. Also there is another chance of the roots growing later and penetrating the pool structure, but roots generally need a timespan of at least 10 years to reach that potential. In such cases, if the pool is very near to the backyard, proper construction materials should be used such that the roots cannot harm the pool.
