Trees; seems to be a contentious subject with some neighbours
Love your feedback on the matter of very lofty well established- probably planted in the 1960's- pine trees on a lower, unused, hillside back section of a property.
The property owners' in past years have spent a small fortune felling, thinning and topping the pines to retain the sweeping habour views enjoyed by tenants at their rental property- and the trees are presently at a height in keeping the view, and -we believe - offer some privacy and a windbreak for the property
Neighbours' in the street below have approached the tenants' complaining of the pine needles in their gutters and spouting, one in particular upset as she had hers blocked quite badly- but it does sound that she had neglected to clear her spouting for well over a year
My handyman had his arborist quote $4600 to top them - no disposal cost- just reducing height- but I don't think the height is the issue and felling them would even be more money. Am I being hardnosed in my stance that its a lot of money when the neighbours should be clearing out their gutters ! ?
