Treeney Sodd: The HOA Barber of Maple Street

The Bad Lawn Dad and The Bad Lawn Mom tell the true story of a family who went on vacation and came home to find every tree lining their neighborhood mysteriously removed—no notice, no explanation, just stumps.What started as a peaceful community with a canopy of mature Red Maple trees turned into a clear-cut crime scene while residents were out of town. In this episode, we unpack what happened, why HOAs love chainsaws more than communication, and how an entire neighborhood learned the hard way that sometimes the real danger isn’t storms, roots, or sidewalks—it’s the board.
