Best Answer

Foxtail palms have non-invasive root systems that typically do not cause damage to concrete driveways. As long as the palm is not planted too close to the driveway and is well-maintained, it is unlikely to cause any lifting or damage.

Advice or tips on mainting my driveway.?

There are several things you need to do to maintain your driveway and keep it from cracking. First, remove any vegetation that is close to your driveway. Trees and bushes may send roots out that will eventually grow underneath the concrete and cause it to crack. You should also edge your driveway. Make sure your water disposal systems are kept in good working order. Water flowing under your concrete can cause freezing in the winter. Finally, use a concrete water sealant.
