Birch Tree

Question

Hello I would like to ask about the possibility of moving a silver birch tree to another part of my garden and it’s chances of survival? It was planted 4 years ago by the developers of our house. As like most new build gardens we have a small plot and although I like the tree, it really dictates the design of the garden. I’d like to put a small circular patio there instead and plant around it. With the trees roots running through the border it makes planting difficult.
