I agree with hardwood, you have to look at the crowns and see which trees are fat enough to look good on their own. If you only remove small undergrowth trees (20' or less) then you won't have that problem, but you won't get any grass growth either.

Another problem is that thinning out tends to stress out the remaning trees (which grew up in a sheltered environment) and a lot of them will get sick and die in a few years. So at the end you end up chopping them all down, end up planting new trees and loose a few years, while you could have planted your park right away. But it all depends on the existing growth.

I agree on road noise, too. It's a bummer. Glad you got a dead end road location.
