Just had that one large annoying branch that grew up, and out, and then hung low over my lawn, blocking out sunlight and air, making a large area in my perfect lawn moss infested and feeble looking. When a man sits on his back patio, and admires his lawn, all accept for one ugly spot that cries out to him, well, how can you enjoy your beer while that one nasty spot is rebelling against the good order of the entire yard. It had to go. But it went at a steep price.

You do realize that another option is to cut them off with a set of pruning shears before they reach any significant size?
Just a thought.
