Root through a foundation . Can it just be cut?

AdamAshworth1 · 1 Aug 2012

Hi I am digging my foundations for my raised garden wall / raised bed. I have come across a few roots form a tree that is about 6ft away. One of the roots is about 4 inch wide. Is it ok to cut it either side and just fill the foundation or do you think I will get problems later on? Was thinking of putting some iron rods in the strengthen the concrete there?
Thanks
