@JAYJARDIN, your Kilmarnock willow is already encroaching over the grass, and having seen the photos above, you may wish to consider either moving it or replacing it altogether with something less likely to become a problem.
You should see some of the ones round here. SO bad.... I really ought to take the camera when I go out. The sad thing is that many of them are planted as a 'specimen' in front gardens. They're certainly that!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

2) Kilmarnock willow
Have turned pics.
1. Prunus ....Cherry maybe ..looking at lenticels on the bark
2. Salix caprea Kilmarnock...common name Kilmarnock willow.
Grafted/ Top heavy. Roots not always strong enough..inclined to lean/fall over.
Up here virtually every house has one ..planted by the builders.
They can be so very ugly.
Which is your favourite?
My favourite...I have many favourites!
Dreadful small tree!
It is grafted and often gets top heavy so that it leans/topples over.

Best in the autumn, as is the local wine. Their fizzy stuff is almost as good as that made in England. But with more history and culture behind it.
Unfortunately all my pics are on 35mm transparencies that I can't access using my current technology.
"Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
I'll try and find some pics that come bigger.
