It's not a first world problem; it's a legit gear grinder.

yup . got loads of them . you trim when needed and collect the branches when they fall . just a part of having them . it's what you sign up for when you co habitate a properly with large trees
they also give me privacy and that makes the minor hassle of tending to them worth it . if you are the non yardwork / maintenance type then move into one of those new properties where you have 50 square feet of rolled out sod over a barren pad
