Houses with mature trees - desirable or not?

When we built our new hours we cut all the trees down and have much less maintenance inc gutters

What an idiot.

+1 why didn’t you just pick another house McMansion type with a tiny lot and no trees, instead of ruining that house? People like you annoy me so much. Ugh

I’m pretty sure this qualifies as a war crime.

This is a war crime and a crime against nature.

I still remember sobbing at age 13 when the neighbors cut down their linden trees. My friend was over, and she said, "I understand! I would feel the same if anyone cut down my weeping willow!"

Horrible. That would be big negative for a lot of buyers

Mature trees are great until they get too tall and too mature. The tall tree in my front yard last year was gorgeous—until a storm blew it over onto our driveway and it flattened part of my car. Just make sure you’re getting a regular check up of the trees by a professional arborist.

We just paid $1500 to cut down a mature tree that was diseased. Still worth having them but they’re not inexpensive

Depends on what kind of tree. The tulip poplars that are so popular around here grow fast and die fast. A huge tree needs to be assessed for damage and health. If you have a property with a lot of those around your house, you could end up with one IN your house. Which is....less than desirable.

Highly desirable when they are healthy and not very close to the house.
If they are an healthy or Ash tree not good news in the long run.
Ash trees are dying with pest Emerald Ash borer beetles.
Cutting big trees are expensive 3k-5k per tree depending on access.

None should be able to fall on your house. I know of 4 horror stories of trees falling on bedrooms, fences, and kitchens. It’s a hassle.

We just drove through Vienna today. It's beautiful to have all of those trees! It makes the community look SO much better to have trees. Monitor your trees and if you see one leaning or diseased, of course you must remove it. Otherwise don't. And I say this as someone who had a tree fall on my house. If you do take out trees, plant new ones that don't get so tall (like cherry, dogwood, maples, etc.).

Trees are important. They definitely keep it cooler and they absorb CO2.

Interesting? What do you mean? I always thought if neighbors tree falls on your house your neighbor isn't responsible, and it's very much your own insurance to cover it. isn't that true?

Yes, that's true. Most on DCUM seem to think that is not the case and that you would be responsible if your tree fell on your neighbors' yard.

And I have big beautiful trees that have been around for at least the 50 years my folks or me have had our house and they have been through many storms. They could easily be around another 50 years. They are beautiful.

Someone in our neighborhood who lives next to a corner lot that was filled with mature trees, bought that adjacent lot, cut down all the trees and put a pool on it 🤮🤮
