Neighbor

Got the estimate to cleanup the aftermath of the derecho - $1200. Most of the other neighbors have previously cut down most of their trees - see above - to have a nice lawn. I will stay with the trees. Best Viewed Large

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, it is a nice home and they are nice neighbors

They do look clean and crisp and very American. I like the box hedges, though. But trees have birds!

Very beautiful residence, I should say. And nicely captured too.

If I can I too would stay with the trees. when my hubby was still in building houses he often had to change his plans when there was a tree I didn't want him to touch. the same when he built our home he couldn't convince me that the trees so close to the house had to go...now all these years later they finally were cut down as the roots went underneath our house and came out on the other side..that finally convinced me.

@maggiemae Thank you Maggie, and they also bring shade
@sangwann Thank you Dione, they keep it up very well
@bruni Thank you Bruni, we had the house built 40 years ago and we are glad that we have been able to keep most of our trees.
