I hate it when the city or Township knocks down perfectly healthy trees over utilities that 90% of the time completely missed the pipes. Here in Belleville they cut down every single tree on little Street. One of them had to be at least 200 years old beautiful classic upright broccoli shaped tree. Every tree, little and big was cut and grinded into chips. Why? They cut a trench down the middle of little Street to put down some pipes! And refurbished the sewer holes. Take it as an opportunity to plant a nice fast growing tree you might like.
