It can be a hazard next to houses. I've seen many health looking trees fall on them after storms/ice storms.

Both trees near my house have fallen during a crazy storm. Our pine-tree missed our car by like 2cm. It was incredible. Ripped out, roots and all.

Our other tree split during the same storm and damaged our roof.

No more trees within falling distance of my house, ever again.

I'm pro-tree but after a Fall of constant leaf-raking, I can understand why so many people have bare yards.

Serious question: why are you raking the leaves?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

If you have heavy leaf fall it'll smother the grass and kill the lawn.

Because if I don't my dad will, and he is elderly and usually injures himself raking.

Probably to fufil the anti-worm and anti-compost agenda that is prevalent on any social media.

Just a hunch.

Or the glorious HOA made an edict.
