I've made a stone flowerbed in front of my cement porch. I would like to plant a small tree in that bed. There are two pvc pipes sticking out of the ground inside the bed. How will that affect my planting

Any tree planted in this area will eventually move the bed and even the porch. Tree roots will spread in all directions at least as far as the drip line, roots can lift concrete so think about maybe a bush
