Did this work? We have the same problem and are afraid the roots will be deeper than the reciprocal saw. Our neighbor has 2 large cypress trees along our fence line. I have seen knees next to our house and our pool is dangerously close to the fence. Do you think the roots could bust through the concrete of my pool looking for water? It was suggested to build a trench and put concrete in it to stop the roots from coming in my yard.I am hoping for an easier solution. Is this my problem or do my neighbors bear any responsibility? Also from what I read- killing one root will not kill the tree. You have to cut it down and get rid of the entire root system. They grow back easily.
