watching our every move. (The terrain slopes sharply upward toward
them so their front deck is about 20' higher than our back deck).

There are no pipes, drains, etc. anywhere near where the trees will be planted. In fact, there is nothing man-made anywhere with 75' of where they will be planted.

Both seem to be BIG trees. Poplars grow fast and drop all kinds of
crud and branches as they age. They are not necessarily recommended
for city lots.

Do you have a septic system? Watch out for poplars.

(My choices have been narrowed down to Nor'easter Poplar or Lombardy
Poplar. I've heard stories about both. Of those two, which would be
my best choice?)
