Later in life you can make up some BS story about why the juniper tree is incredibly important to you on a deep and personal level.

Once the trees are gone, then what?

I'd be up at night worried about water leaking from a faucet, all those pipes just waiting to break, that old window that is about to start leaking, or pests getting in, or mold, or appliances breaking, or tenants causing damage, losing their job or getting divorced or dying, or a tree falling on the house or sewage backing up into the house or any number of unexpected and expensive things that happen at the least opportune times.

Then when you bring in other elements, like Anonymity--that can be like a moat or a dense line of trees keeping the invaders away from your assets.

If it is not their fault (ie a tree root has grown through the sewer pipe which is why the toilet keeps backing up or something like that) then I would probably get the problem fixed after the 3rd time it happened.

Need help I close on a house in 15 days and the house was in move in ready shape, but a storm came through and a tree limb hit the back of the house took of panelling and breaker box.

Have any of you removed trees for that reason?

A quote attributed to Abe Lincoln (I believe) goes something like this:"If I have 4 hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first 3 sharpening my axe."

I’m a Los Angeles based landscape architect working on creating some small site improvements on a property in 29 Palms just near the Joshua Tree Park.

Not saying it doesn't work but not my cup of tea.
