I live in a townhouse development. We have some common grounds behind our house. The trees in that area are insanely high. So high, that anyone...
(more)
who visits for the first time remark how high they are. I'm always terrified during a storm, like the one we had last night, that huge branches will break & fall onto our house. My kids' bedrooms are back there, though, truthfully, if any one of those trees fell, it would damage the entire house, but the back bedrooms would get it first. I've written a letter of complaint (but was extremely nice about it) to our association. I never even got a response. Any advice on how to take it a step furthur?

- Are the trees diseased? Or are you just concerned b/c they are higher than your house? 3-11-2011 9:37am
- no they seem very healthy but what do I know? The development is about 25 yrs old so the tree must be that old too. They are MUCH HIGHER than my house. Probably 8-10ft higher 3-11-2011 9:38am

- get a professional arborist to come out and tell you if they are actually a threat. if they are not, be aware that you have to pay for this yourself - if they are dangerous I...(more) 3-11-2011 9:38am
