As a yard planting that honey locust will give nice filtered shade from its tiny leaves. Thornless sure beats the kind I have but the seed pods on a honey locust look like elongated pea pods. I hope that doesn't become a nuisance when you are out mowing.
Yes, that was another issue with these trees, a shallow root ststem and where I live you can hit ground water at 3ft sometimes. My insurance company last month had already gave me a letter stating I had to replace the walk way due to insurance purposes, I have 90 days to complete it and we were going to remove and replace this month.
We thought the same thing, but we'll deal with raking them up prior too I guess. These silver maples dropped "thousands" of seeds, "can't be any worse"...
I am guessing this is the same type maple my sister planted in her garden; there are surface roots that she has hit with the ride-on mower. I wondered if disease and insects could attack the tree through those damaged roots.
There was some serious trip hazard there. I guess those slabs are too big to lift up and cut the roots and place back down.
Yes, they are heavy, nothing I want to tackle! It's all getting replaced soon. Stumps are getting ground down by a friend in the tree business.
