After three applications and hearings with ARC, we finally got approval to remove the mess making magnolia monstrosity in our yard. I wish our next door neighbor would remove theirs as well as the mess spills over into our yard. A side note, these trees have an extensive and shallow root system and it’s a soft wood. After about a year after the tree removal, the roots began rotting under our lawn producing fungus and weeds, which looked horrible. It takes about another year for the rotting to run it’s course, at which point you will have to rip what’s left of your existing lawn and re sod it. Everything looks great now, but it’s a long process.
