I think they tried to remove the roots because it was sinkhole there and I planted a st Luke's Plum tree..Behind the fence there is a huge tree and the roots are breaking up the carport, uprooting the fence.. two years ago, they had to redo the pluming because roots were coming through the lines. When I moved here six years ago I could not wait to get my Hostas in the ground. I had a guy come out and till the soil with all kind of amendments He had a hard time getting through it all and threaten me with buying him a new tiller! lol One man actually sawed some into smaller pieces to get of it out.. He was a young man, determined! lol
One thing that going crazy is my Acanthus (Bears Britches) and I see a stalk of blooms in the middle. Hopefully it don't get too hot or it wont bloom again..

I am just now getting back into my garden, I had a hip replacement about two years ago. I came home with vertigo so bad I kept falling . They sent back to the hospital and from there to rehab! It was awful, I didn't dare go in my garden for fear of falling. I was so surprised at my self when I went to Lowes and bought all those markdown plants, I thought I would get some one to do it for me. first I potted them up, then I read the labels, they needed to be in the sun.. I got my shovel and it was on! My neighbors said shouldn't you be out there doing all that., she sat on the porch and watched me.lol Once she had to get someone to go get me out back, I had gone out there to cut on the faucet, I don't know what happen, thank God for that tree, I was trying to pull myself up Rolling on the floor laughing
Oh my goodness! I know you are bored i I am going to stop now. Hurray!
