X Trees too close to structure/overhanging roof X Recommend cutting trees backComments Some areas of grading on the south side were sloping towards foundation, soil is in contact with

siding at this area as well. This can affect the foundation and can cause water to enter into crawlspace area which creates a conducive condition for wood destroying pests.
