Title: Trees
Post by: Snowdrop on June 20, 2014, 11:12:23 PM
So far this summer I had been spending almost everyday sweeping my driveway.  I am starting to dislike my trees.  They give nice shades but they are a lot of work.  :-\  Should I cut them?

trees actually add value to your home so you should consider that before you cut them down just because they're a lot of work to maintain.

Trees don't lose their leaves until the fall.  Maybe your trees are ready to go.

We just planted 4 aspens in the front yard.  They are still babies so no hard raking yet but I think that's the beauty of trees.  I like it when they lose their leaves in the fall and scatter on the ground.

Just make sure it's within city regulations before you cut it down.  When my dad cut his trees down it was a pain to obtain the okay for it.  It was even more of a pain to cut the hanging kaydoos down first.

I don't mind the leaves which is not time yet. I hate picking up the fruits that fall down to the grass and drive way.  The fruits are all gone.  My trees n the front yard give me shade even though we hardly sit in the front living room.  My backyard has no trees because we took them out but we got some behind the wall which is a walking path so it give us nice breeze.
