We booked them a couple of weeks ago. Manager Jamie came by, a gracious, personable young man and I led him around the garden path 😁 to show him what I wanted taken down and cut up. The quote was very specific and well done.
BEFORE: This is the view out the bathroom window. The maple is getting taller, which is fine, but it's going to rub up against the roof soon. We had to have a tree removed that was broken and leaning on the roof a couple of years ago. This is a prudent, proactive decision.
Before and after!
It was a beautiful morning, the sunrise was lovely!
BEFORE
I managed a couple loads the first afternoon. Tuesday, 3 more loads. I'm going to hire someone to help split the stuff I cannot lift.
The snow melted, and the sumacs laid flat. The previous owners used to cut all these down. This was an area with a lovely forest of sumacs. When that happened, there wasn't enough moisture and they lost the integrity of the forest. Now it is full of milkweed. We don't need an English-style lawn here!
It looks much tidier without all those dead elms. I haven't been able to cut the weeds and wildflowers for Joe's walking path. Where we walk, I keep down the grasses, since the ticks like that habitat. I literally ran into a dead tree trunk and had to back up. That problem is solved!

Projects and busyness. Fortunately, you do seem very strong and fit.
Wow! That is a LOT of work that got done and more work that you have to get done.
It really looks nice.
All my tree stuff got moved to the pasture and dumped. It will stay there or one of the neighbors may harvest wood out of it since we don't burn wood here.
Well done!
I'm exhausted just reading about all the work you did! Linda in Kansas
What a difference!

Place is looking spiffy! YAM xx
It looks great, good job stacking all that wood!
Sounds like you have made prudent decisions, and look at all that lovely firewood for the winter? We have trees too near the house that we have to get taken care of. Their roots are becoming a problem and we don't want them to damage the foundation of the house. Something else to get taken care of.
Sad as I always feel to have to remove a tree that looks like a job well done. You will be busy. Don't do too much.
A shed full of firewood, that is great, and what a difference those removed trees makes. Tradies, we all need you at times, a good job so well done.
That was a lot to do.
It’s always sad to see a tree removed, but sometimes it’s necessary, I suppose.
Some trees grow very quickly and not always where you want them to grow.
I just can't believe all that you do, Jenn. You must be super strong and healthy. I am so impressed.
