We had to remove a huge ash tree that gave our front yard a ton of shade. But the roots were tearing the electrical and cable/phone boxes out of the ground, so the electric company sort of forced me to remove it. They offered to do it for nothing, so I let them do it. I hated to lose that tree, but here in central IL, it was doomed anyway because of the ash borer beetle. It was already showing signs of dying.

Lesson here: ash tree roots can cause serious damage. If that tree is threatening the pool at all, think about taking it out before it's too late.
