Comment: Forgive me as I do not know types of trees; front yard, west and 15' away from house, tree ±60" around at base but splits off at about 30" into 2; it's 60' tall and has a number of large, dead limbs that I'm certain will fall and damage both my roof and my neighbors truck in the coming storm season. Need to keep the tree as it's my homes only protection from afternoon sun.
Southeast corner of the house, same type of tree, about ½ the size of the other, also splits at about 30", and is knocking over my wood fence. Remove this tree as it is 2' from the house and I expect roots are stressing my home's footing and slab. And question, roots from the tree in front, 2" diameter and shallow, partially above ground; can we cut them a short distance from the tree and still sabe the tree? And roots on SE corner,will roots stop growing when tree is removed?
North, chain link and back 60' has a number of, 8 or 10, small diameter, short, 18-30" tall trunks have grown, and become a part of my chain link fence. And the very back of southside fence line, 3 tall but skinny,35' tall, 1½" around to remove.
East, back chain link, number?, several, 1'diameter and not much taller than the fence. Also, (4)those that come from the ground in (40) or (60), or more, ¼" shoots, they bow out and back together at the top, they're 35 or 40' tall and no longer produce leaves.
Just off center of back yard is a 60' tall Maple needs to be trimmed.
I own the empty lot next door, north, and in the NE corner is a terribly unsightly, I don't know, maybe Maple. 45-60' tall, probably 40" trunk at my shoulder height. While I've not yet spoke to utilities, I know not not why they've not, nor how they've got away with not, doing something with this as it grows into wiring at a junction in the wiring. It, of course, needs to go.
And (1) more although it's, or at least the trunk of it, is on neighbor's property. Still, many 2" branches are actually laying on the comp roof of my storage buildin
