Well today was the big tree cutting day. For quite some time now we've been dreading the inevitable. We have loved having so much shade in our yard, but our front yard is just way to small for the large trees we planted with gigantic root structures. The nasty roots have been causing havoc so it was time to do the dreaded deed. The roots have lifted up a section of our sidewalk which now is going to be taken up and repoured. The roots have also been pushing the ditch out and causing other problems in general. We hired Nick Huerta, a man around the corner from us who cuts down trees to come and do the job. There were 5 men plus Duane and I working all day. They were amazingly fast with their chain saw and chipper.
They cut the big branches off a little at a time and then the trunk. I was amazed how fast they worked.
We even did the trees in our side yard because they were also too close to the driveway and the ditch and also the main water lines which ran to our house.
This chipper was really amazing. They chipped up most of the trees making a whole truck load of wonderful wood chips. A neighbor who has a huge yard and garden wanted the whole truck load which they graciously gave her and delivered to her house. It was so fascinating I stayed outside all day to watch the action and couldn't get much work done until they left.
