Trees Near Garage Foundation: Roots Won't Break Poured Concrete

A water oak (12 ft) and bald cypress (22 ft) from a garage with 6‑8″ poured concrete walls, 7 ft underground. Roots are in top 2 ft; they won’t grow under or through a solid poured wall. No need to remove trees. A hickory with a large basal hollow (2/3 diameter) is safe—hickory wood is very hard, decay fungi move slowly. As long as canopy is full, it’ll stand for decades.
