I wanna build my home close to some trees, but I wanna use them for resources but dont want to build too close to them to not be able to grow again.
Is there a way to see if you’re building too close without chopping them and waiting for them to grow?

I wonder if anyone knows the math here?
In my experience it’s as you say though - cut and wait, move and try again.
Im hoping someone has like build say 3 foundations away from trees and discovered thats the distance needed for them to grow back

It’s for sure less than three but I think it’s just slightly over one. I dunno exactly though and it seems to vary depending on the piece and number of pieces - but that could be wrong. 
No you are right. I remember fixing a perimeter around a tree for decoration in my yard and the next day this tree was missing, leaving me extremely disappointed. I really wish trees could work this way too
There is a math, resources will despawn if they are in the 1 foundations radius:
the blue area is the despawn radius, i suspect the every piece follow this math no matter if it is pillar or a wedge foundation, or a ceiling. And aminals and npc spawns take in consideration the claim radius that is 3 times greater than the despwan one, they will not spwan in claimned area (purge mobs will). Placeables has not despawn or claim radius. You can cut a ttree, place some planters around, or even where the tree was and after 40 minutes it will grow again. Please use this knowledge for good, remember uncle Ben with great powers comes great responsabilities.
