Sorry to jump in but I've got a problem with tree roots aswell, A neighbours tree is situated about one metre from the wall of a barn that I am hoping to convert, Ideally I would want to remove the tree, but if the neighbour is unwilling to negotiate (highly probable) can I just cut the roots where they enter my land? how do I get round this????
a 1000mm dig from external ground level is acceptable in virgin earth, though root barrier foundations can godown as mutch as 1500mm (depending on root size,lie of the land etc).
Usually you go 300mm below any roots found in trench. Depth will depend on tree type and soil. Is the conifer a cypress? What is the clay like; thick like toffee? crumbly? sandy?
