Mimosa tree. Large, takes up front yard. Has green splotches on it (a fungus I think) and big gashes.

Mimosas tend to lose vigor and start to develop problems toward the end of their normal lifespan. Rather than spend lots of time, money, and effort on a tree that is probably just about near its end, I'd remove it and plant new ones. They grow very rapidly (sort of a trade-off for their relatively short lifespan), so you should have fairly sizable trees in reasonably short order.
