4. I have 5 big trees on my small lot

The yard is 1/3 acre. I had 4 of the big trees trimmed 2 or 3 years ago. Cost $4500.00. The tree guy said if he had the trees he couldn't afford to get them trimmed. We both laughed, what can you do? I was holding my breath every time we had a storm come through, and I was less stressed since the trimming. The neighbor said awhile back that it was too expensive to get the pines cut down. When they put the carport up without cutting the trees, I thought they had worked around the trees.

We had to get a couple of smaller trees cut out in 1998 and 2012, after wind damage. We replaced both. Wishing you luck that the trees you are worried about hold up until you can tend to them. Maybe you can plant a couple of trees and get them established before you remove the fragile trees.
