Default yards with trees

When you have a house with many trees around it you need to be extra safe. If you have limbs that hang really low and close to your roof you should either cut them down yourself if you know what your doing or get someone to cut them.

Recently my daughter and my husband did some of that around our house. We had 2 trees that had been struck by lightening and they cut them down and a few limbs that were hanging real low. The yard looks way better now and I also feel better knowing that the limbs are no longer messing up the roof.

We have trees all around our house. My husband is a tree climber and yet my trees are the last ones to get taken care of lol! I guess thats just how it goes.

You are right though, trees can do tremendous damage to a house so you do need to keep them trimmed up.

hahaha thats how it always is i guess men think their house isnt i priority lol. I hate when they start tearing off the shingles and you have to replace them its a lot of hard work that could be avoided if someone goes ahead and cuts them down lol.

Its scary to know that one tree was not even 4 feet from the house and got struck by lightening. The other one was further away but still. I do love trees but too many around the house is a different story. Weeping williows would have to be my favorite trees because, not only are they extremely pretty they dont get as big as a other trees.
