Getting the house ready for the market.

Garden has 2 fir trees in which are now half dead on one side, brown and look pretty nasty. But, they block line of sight from the kitchen to next doors nasty looking shed and a fence that needs repairing.

I think we should remove them for the photos, wifey thinks we should keep them. What do you think?

And anyone tried spray painting dead trees green??!

Photoshop ftw. Post the pics here and you'll get lots of help with that...

Depends how big they are. Small enough to easily take out DIY then I'd leave them. If they are huge then better off without them.

Photo them to hide the brown bits, or photoshop the colour. They won't make or break a sale unless they're big enough to cost 4 figures to remove.

Only about 7 foot, if we were staying I'd leave the trunks and use them for climbers. Photoshop is a good idea. Hadn't thought of that....

Have you got any green paint?

7ft aren't trees, they're saplings. Just get rid and pop up a nice trellis or arch with climbers on it instead.

I think photoshoping on house particulars is a bit of a no no.

I'd probably just leave them. Next owners can decide what to do.
