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

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

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.

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.

If the shovel was made in China, would the roots go straight down?

It would be sold to you by someone who used to make them but now works
at the big box mart.

Inscrutably.
