My Dad did just that but 10 times over, it didn't even cost much. We had some asshole neighbors growing up, putting used chewing gum on our windows and parking vehicles on the lawn, so pops measured out the propery line and planted a row of cypress between our houses. They even ran over a few saplings with their truck but he just replanted.. Those trees are now over 40 feet tall with trunks over a foot thick. Their house is now abandoned, the only empty house on the street in a nice neighborhood. Those fuckers still own that house but can't even rent it out now They refuse to sell it out of spite.

I fully support this if the tree is positioned to provide shade for the house during the summer. So many people do not plan for stuff like that when they build and landscape.

Big trees are scary. An old oak tree fell and missed my relatives house by a few feet recently. Most of my immediate family members were in the house at the time. The tree surely would have crushed the house.

lol fuck maple trees you fucking canadian
