I had the same situation... Didn't ask for the HOA approval I just cut down the tree

A quick and creative solution...Design a dry creek bed around the roots ( gravel, boulders, etc... ) plant some low growing native shrubs in open spots between the roots and leave it be. As for the driveway area, install a linear root barrier to help reduce root growth along the driveway. Most HOA 's are looking for a quick, inexpensive solution that will be visually pleasing and low maintenance in my experience dealing with many if them here in S-Cal. Great consult summary...🤠👍🏾

The bylaws require a tree but I never fined anyone for removing a tree when I was on the board. Grass will not grow, the soil will continue to erode and eventually a good storm will knock the tree over.

Even if you cut the tree down the drainage will always be a problem. Never plant a tree blocking the front of a house, too. The trees should frame the house. So sad.

All these people against trees in the front yard.. Other than potentially being a pain with your drainage system or driveway(you can mitigate both of these), I don't care if it is blocking the front of my house, that is the idea. I want the shade, I dont want creeps looking at my house, and I don't want to look at the creeps. Can't have fences or hedge lines in the front yard of most places, so options for privacy are limited.

Not only the shade but the tree is taking all the nutrients from the soil. Grass is done

They can cut it and plant another smaller tree and HOA can’t say anything you replaced the tree

That’s not how HOAs work in most cases. That is a good plan but most will want you to get approval first. You are removing a mature tree with a mature canopy and replacing it with a smaller tree. What caliper? Where will it be planted? Who’s gonna water it and fertilize it until it establishes itself? HOAs are tough to deal with but they also keep undesirable situations from happening that might encroach on your peace. Ever had a neighbor decide to park in front of your house EVERYDAY just because it was more convenient for them? What about one with dogs that roam the backyard that they don’t clean up after? Load music? Endless parties? Sex with the windows open? Walking around naked in their house with the curtains wide open? All jobs for the HOA!

HOA is such a joke . Just like property tax are we really ever the true owners ?

This drives me nuts. In my neighborhood, the builder planted maples in front of houses. Maples get huge!!! If you plant a tree, get one that doesn't grow big AND doesn't have disastrous root systems. Depending on the size of the yard, trees like JAPANESE maples and Redbuds (certain varieties) can work and not destroy everything in the process. Do your research on plants before you plant them

The HOA might not let you cut down that tree. But you know if it just happens to die, there's nothing you can do about that..😅

@richardharwell Wow, that sounds pretty mean to that tree that is cleaning the air, providing a habitat for various wildlife, possibly providing shade to that house if its locared in a southern or western exposure side of that house... and hey, I am not some tree hugger from Calif. I am a landscape pro that looks at the challenge and would want to solve the challenge in a simple, ecologically safe way . The main problem is that the tree was possibly planted in the wrong spot incorrectly in the first place...🤔

The builder of my house had to cut 2 trees down because the insurance would not insure the house with them in such close proximity to my house . One of them was that close to my driveway

Looks like the tree didn’t get enough water, which is why the roots are near the surface. And it’s too close to the house and the sidewalk.

You can get grass to grow there, but you would have to stand there and water it 10x a day.

There are grass varieties that grow in the shade, I have just as much shade and have grass growing under the trees. If you plant the wrong grass you get bad results.

Not just the shade, that tree was starved for water, so its roots are all up in the surface, hogging all the water.
