I just noticed that the surface roots of the tree in my front yard are headed for the street and my brick house. At the rate they are growing I figure I've got two years before they hit the house and a year or so before they start running into my flower bed.

Now I know you shouldn't cover surface roots of a tree. Would it hurt the tree if I cut the roots heading for the house and street to slow down it's forward growth? Is there an easy fix for this?

Thanks
