Pine trees suck. #ExpectationVSReality



The swan had a party while we were out.

Wendy,

Good thing the swan wasn't driving home. Looks like she had a little too much to drink.

I'm available, but not cheap!

 

[Sunbaby]

And your kinda far!

 

[psihiart]

On a serious note. May be you need a good chainsaw. Or may be it's just my inner lumberjack talking.

BAD pine trees! So pretty and shady BEFORE a pool..........such a pain AFTER a pool!

 

[Marlahoutex]

Get that robot into the pool!

LOL, for us, its crepe myrtles, oy, skimmers are priceless, and we are cleaning the baskets daily.

A Poolskim may work well for you. I have one for the perpetual crepe myrtle blooms and oak leaves that fall in the pool. It helps keep me sane.

It's tough, but they are the only shade trees we have and I love the shade. Luckily it's only 2 times a year, I think the 100 degree temps and no rain caused it to start falling early.

Blah.

Wendy, I agree with you about the shade -- its worth the extra skimmer attention to be able to dodge the sun on hot afternoons!

Lol leaves suck. My backyard neighbors let both of their huge pine trees die during our drought. Not only are they horrible looking and probably ruining our property value, but the yard and pool are always full of pine needles.

+1 to that!

Blah.

We have a couple of 70' ponderosa pines that do the same thing. I can't even pull out the skimmer basket because the suction has it stuck with so many needles. I end up emptying it 3 times a day right now.
