2 thoughts on “Negatives For Having Trees In Your Yard”
Honestly in my opinion the positives of having trees in my backyard outweigh the negatives. Yes, the fall weather means a lot of raking, however, we try to make it a family event with the kids helping us in the backyard. It also provides some privacy and I prefer to look out of my window at the wonderful trees as opposed to my neighbors living room.
