I stumbled upon this site and have learned more in an hour than I ever thought I would. What a wonderful wealth of information. Bob, your videos are awesome! It is so refreshing to see and hear someone with such love for what they do!
Can you please answer a question for me?
We have just dug a 1/2 acre pond on newly aquired land and a friend of ours who use to work in the tree business, said that we will have to cut down any trees that are near the pond because they will eventually drown, and the heavy equipment will have damaged the roots. He said it will take 3 - 5 years to see the damage, but he recommended that we take them down now before we build the house on the property. This was shocking due to the fact that we planned the pond around the trees....huge white oaks and pin oaks (about 7 - 10 trees). Can you offer me any insight regarding this?
