I thinned out for house about 7 - 8 years ago. Left the trees I wanted and not really any more. Some beautifull white oaks, some cherries. With each big wind (here hurricanes) went 3 of the 5 white oaks, and this past year lost another cherry. Still have 2 white oaks and about 5 cherry trees.
You might do well to hire a true professional to review the trees and make suggestions on which to remove and when and if there is any pruning needed to help save those left.
The least you can bother the roots of those left the better off you will be. Many trees will suffer from root damage and that might be one of the reasons the wind affects them so much or dry conditions.
As to road noise, here roads are popping so fast even the computer maps don't keep up. Too much change, too fast.

brokenarrow,
Congratulations!
We have wide open spaces around our house in three directions for a few hundred yards, about 75 feet in fourth direction. Just how open do you have to get it to stop those bugs?
On the trees, just be sure you don't leave any that could hit the house and let them fall where they may.  Well hopefully not on anything else either.
We cleared a lot of trees from 2 inches to 30 inches for our current house. Had the stumps of about 8 inches up ground a few inches below ground level. For about 3 or 4 summers now having fun of filling in those rotting stump holes.
God Bless your site and work there.

Having done the stump grinding deal and now living with the experience with many stump holes, it does have draw backs. The only way I would want stumps ground would be you can not distrub the area or their rot will be not an issue or such. The chips were removed so that was not an issue.
Finding people here who will cut even fine pines for the wood itself is hard for an acre or so, the demand for clearing is so great.

Murf,
I very much understand and a few years ago it was like that here. Now the problem is there is so much of most kinds of constuction work and all it spins off companies are able to totally cherry pick. Move over a county and it is totally different. The demand for tree removal here is large enough and there is not sufficient supply of people who do that type of work and add to that the small saw mills are all out of business now.
Now, it can still be possible to have an individual to cut a tree down for the wood. But it is an individual and not a company. So if there is damage done who pays?

Murf,
My experience is like SG has as the next post. If you have someone who is in my area I would like to hear from them. I can probably help them out along and along.
Thanks,
kt
