[quote=Anonymous]I'm clearly in the minority here - I was so sad when my neighbor cut down all of their trees to make room for more lawn!  I love trees.  We have a gigantic tulip poplar in our backyard - it's easily 60 years old, huge, outer edge is 5' from the property line (which has a fence, the poplar has never bothered the fence).  Luckily the neighbor on that side has kept all his trees and loves them, it's the other side that removed trees.  We live on 1/3 acre and have around 20 mature trees in our yard - the giant poplar, oak, hickory, maple, holly, dogwood, cherry.

We do have a tree guy come out every 2 years to remove dead branches from all of the trees in our yard.  Every once in a while a small branch will fall, but no branches big enough to do any damage in the 15 years we've been here.

Walking into the backyard in the summer is heaven.  It's easily 15 degrees cooler under the trees than out in the sun.  I really don't get why anyone would want to reduce summer shade in this climate.[/quote]
