Standard olive tree

My standard olive tree is planted by my front door. I am now worried about the roots. Do you think I’ve planted it in the wrong place? It’s been there for about five years now.

Kind regards,
Liz

The Olive Tree roots are known to surface and can be damaged easily by mechanical equipment.
