How many folks here have removed trees and bushes that were close to their homes to limit fire exposure and wind damage potential?
I removed a maple that was about 30 feet from the house and a locust tree that was within 12 feet. I also removed the lilacs that were within 12 feet of the house. I now have a clear area, except for the raised beds, of about 100 feet around the house and out buildings. No threat of trees falling in wind storms or adding fuel to a wild fire that gets too close.
