I want to grow a large Hibiscus hedge about 6' in front of my back yard

My concern is the city has buried electrical lines just in front of this
fence.

Does anyone know if the roots from large shrubs could do any damage to these
buried lines?

Thanks


I would call your city and ask.

I assume the plants will be small when planted? Thats good you really
want to avoid digging around live power lines.

Locally one call will mark the lines location to avoid issues
