# Trees - General, 41 Emlyn Place, Avondale, Christchurch 8061, New Zealand

Avondale, Christchurch · filed 7 January 2025 · report 5655876
https://www.chch.live/report/5655876

> We have problems with the tree on our berm. 1. The footpath was last repaired 2-3years ago and is already showing fresh signs of root damage. 2. The street gutter is broken in places. 3.Our bubble up sump just inside the fence line has tree roots growing in from the berm and only drains when within 30mm of the top of the pipe. 4. We are planning on replacing our earthquake/tree root damaged driveway but don't want to spend $30k+ only to see it broken up again in a couple of years.
