Trees are one component of communities, that, if left standing help to show the age of the community at hand. Not only that, they also help reduce heating and cooling expenses, along with raising property values. Mountain Brook is completely covered with old growth trees and I think that it adds to the character of the community as a whole. Driving through the winding hills of Mountain Brook, one will repeatedly see some of the best scenery in and around Birmingham. Oaks, dogwoods, cedars, pines... We've got 'em all. My favorite thing about the trees shown here, in front of Mountain Brook City Hall, is how much older they are than our community. Possibly up to one hundred years older than Mountain Brook itself. Which is one of the oldest suburbs of Birmingham. These trees provide a beautiful and comfortable place to sit and relax in the village. There are four or five benches around a fountain and an over sized chess board in between these two massive city hall trees.
