Our yard has about a dozen trees and shortly after we moved in we hired an arborist to inspect them and advise us on how to keep them healthy. We ended up having to take down a dying ash that was leaning over our house and our neighbor's house. They also told us that one of our neighbors' ash trees is also on the way out, so we can plan ahead for shade for when they eventually take that down. The tree removal was relatively inexpensive compared to worrying about falling deadwood.
