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

Great, another easement question. According to HeyBub, you could dig, plant
the shrubs, claim insanity & blame the nursery for not telling you.

Why stop with the nursery? Wouldn't the manufacturer of the shovel share
liability? I don't recall seeing a shovel with a warning label saying
not to use it to plant hibiscus near an underground utility easement.
