I have no idea at all why one of those trees was cut down (the one that used to be on the left).
The one that used to be on the right was kind of close to the building, but didn’t seem be an obvious problem. A whole row of bedroom windows will be getting a whole lot more sunlight now. (Can’t say I’d be happy with that, but I may not be the best example, being nocturnal and all.)
Curious if it’s just the pine trees being culled. From what I can tell, most of the removed trees have been pines. Odd…
