That was the recommendation of The Care of Trees arborist that came over today. He said it would be best if we cut the big tree down in front of the driveway because anymore changes to the landscape would likely cause more damage to the root system and it would need to go within the next 5 years anyway. It has apparently been over-pruned in the past, and it is also problematic that the driveway is covering half of the root system (causing more trauma for it). The estimate was a little over 5K which included grinding that stump and the other large stump in the middle of the yard and a few other misc. items. We would rather not spend our landscaping budget on that, but it's better than that tree falling on our house in a few years, huh!?
