Dear Chris, Thank you for following up and inspecting our trees. I very much disagree with your decision to just trim the trees. Our lawn has been destroyed in and around the area of the tress especially the middle tree. We have made several attempts to keep grass growing in that general area. That middle tree in particular in our opinion needs to be removed. I understand that you feel it is in good health, but it is causing our lawn to look unsightly and it often losses its branches and they are found all over our lawn. We are required by out Home Owners Association to keep our lawn prune and well maintained. We often cannot do that with how over grown this tree is. We have noticed other neighbors that have had their trees removed and had smaller tress planted in their place. We would like you to please reconsider our request to remove at least the middle tree. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this matter further. Thank You Dianne
