The size of a conifer tree's roots can vary depending on the species and age of the tree. Generally, conifer tree roots can extend as far as the tree's canopy or beyond, forming a network that helps anchor the tree and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Outwards.
Conifer roots typically extend horizontally from the tree trunk for a distance equivalent to the tree's height, and can spread even further to about two or three times the height of the tree to absorb water and nutrients effectively. The depth of conifer roots can vary depending on soil conditions, but generally, they tend to stay within the top few feet of soil.

This very much depends on the individual species of conifer. The single longest living organism on the planet is the Bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) which clocks in at over 4500 years for a single tree. Some other conifer species, however may live less than 100 years.

Yes, conifer roots can cause structural damage to property, particularly if they grow close to foundations, driveways, or sidewalks. The expansive nature of their root systems can lead to soil displacement and uneven settling, which may compromise structural integrity. Additionally, roots may infiltrate drainage systems or sewer lines, causing blockages and further damage. Proper management and maintenance of conifers near buildings can help mitigate these risks.
