After countless calls to tree services to get the old bradford pear removed. Including 3 estimates and telling 3 people “Fine, get rid of it” we got one to show up and remove the tree (and STUMP). We enjoyed the shade, but it had broken out at least once and was banging on the master bath windows with every storm. It also was tearing up the sidewalk and driveway.
On the plus side, there is lots more light in the master bath now and I don’t have to worry about the camper roof when I’m backing it in.
