Question in last paragraph.
My uncle has a corner of his rental property that I am trying to get him to agree to remove the pine trees from. The reasoning is they are literally 15' from the house for which he does have insurance for. Two 3' diameter 60' trees have fallen on the house in the last 12 years. House is wood beam construction shaped like a barn for those curious so the damage was just some minor roof repairs although the last one was close to cracking the main beam at the peak.
New growth is constantly growing from the roots that I have to cut down every couple of months otherwise it would interfere with the driveway and grow in the road where the roots have already broke through along with growing further into the yard. There will still be pine trees on another section of the property 100' away.
If the trees are removed then what are the options to prevent new growth after the stumps are ground down. There are no sprinklers and grass isnt needed but the neighbor has hedges.
NOTE: If you're an arborist in the Broward County, Fl area then feel free to pm me ur info in case I talk him into it. Just be aware it would likely be a year out as he makes slow decisions.
Bottom right group of trees in map. If you go to street view the growth seen is what it will do when left untrimmed.
