How close to my house can I plant a maple tree?
There are lots of different types of maples... if it's a Japanese Maple for example, it can be as close as 3 feet away. If it's a Norway Maple, the roots usually need to grow out about 20-30 feet around. It won't mess up the foundation like a Weeping Willow though - but the tree will suffer.
You shouldnt plant it too close tho. Because eventually when it grows and gets big it will really mess up the foundation of the house with its roots.
ummm you can plant one a couple yards away ( like somewhere in your backyard)
