Neighbors are taking down a couple hundred year old trees today on the south side of their house. Hope they enjoy the increased A/C costs during the summer.

This saddens me especially when it's unnecessary.

That is always sad, but could be 100 reasons. Roots can destroy foundation, septic if there is one, or destroy the house if it falls/is rotted and a hazard.

True, we took down a maple a couple years ago that was one of the oldest the tree company had ever done. Just becoming a liability to our structures and the neighbors if it ever were to fall. The stump was easily 6ft in diameter.

Wow! Any rot in the base? A good wide straight maple is worth a lot of money

Nope was a solid tree. It was my parents tree so they just let the tree company “dispose” of it. I’m sure they made a few more bucks on the side lol.
