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

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

Someone does, but it ain't me. I'd guess not, if I had to guess.

OTOH, I'm pretty sure it would be a good idea to check the power co.'s
easement verbiage before you do anything anywhere close to their lines.
