Not really. Weeping willows are okay but regular willows I would get rid of. They look nice but they are very weak and drop a lot of big branches in a wind storms and with heavy snow and ice.

@MethDozer I wouldn't have guessed they are weak.

@iamnikki weepers aren't so.much because they flex so much but many species of non weepers get weaknesses their own weight. So if they get exposed directly to high winds or ice loads they snap more than others m. They way they tend to grow out more than up is part of it too.

I clean up a lot of tree damage from the result of willows.
