Hi all, I need some advice regarding a live oak that was carelessly
planted too close to the back of our house by a previous owner. The
tree is now about 20 ft tall and blocks the view from our deck - and
we have to make some sort of decision. Can anyone help?

1. Can the tree be moved?
2. Should we just cut it down and plant another (or more) further
away from the house?
3. Can anyone recommend a good service to help with either of these
choices?

Thanks in advance, everyone!

In this part of the woods, I doubt if the owner planted the live oak.
Probably purposely avoided cutting same. Original part of the property.

I'd be happy with such a tree. If its blocking your view of a the panorama,
consider it a tax break. Undoubtedly, part of your property tax has a view
as taxable.

Seen on some educational TV channels moving large trees to other locations
with specialized equipment for that purpose.

Unless you have a holy mission, like viewing a nudee, don't bother cutting
the tree.

Anyone can cut down a tree. Not anyone can plant a tree that will continue
to grow.
