We had one on our property near the street and so did our next door neighbor. Both had been there for decades and the roots were causing the sidewalk to come up. My kids loved it when they were young as they used them for skateboards and bike ramps. We hated those trees. We had the one on our property cut down and the sidewalk fixed a few years before we eventually moved. |
When I bought this property, one of the first things I did was cut down every sweet gum.
