    They’re building some new houses round my way.

    Annoyed me that they chopped down a bunch of trees for them, and worse the trees would have been in the gardens. Now they’ll just have a featureless, badly laid lawn and a wonky new build fence to look at instead.

      Trees, especially thirsty ones, cause issues with foundations. The issues are not insurmountable, but they are expensive.
      Developers, looking to maximize profit, far prefer removing the trees if they can.
