A tree question...my neighbor cut down a shade tree!

[rgG]

My only suggestion is for you to plant a relatively fast growing tree or a row of tall hedges on your property; that way, you will have control over the shade and privacy issues. There are lots of trees/tall shrubs that you could plant, depending on your lot and where you live. A fence is another option, depending on you HOA regulations.

Edit: I don't think there is much you can do about the already gone tree or the trampoline, unless your HOA forbids them. You might check to see if your HOA or city codes has any set back requirements for such things.
