    Tree had lost a lot of big branches and 3/4 of the top was dead. It also was 15' from my house and leaning towards the house. So it had to go, Scott did an awesome job taking it down.

    I'm sure the 2 Pines that were real close were there when you bought the place.
    They should never have been that close to the house

    Ya they were too close for sure. I see that a lot because when people plant little trees they fit nice but then they grow up.

    The aftermath, got all the rounds down to the splitting area and most of the branches cleaned up. Now I need to take a rake and pick up the little stuff. The rounds and logs you see are from the G2G and the stacks are what I already had here. Dang I got a lot of splitting and stacking to do.

    Your daughter will have a big pile of chips to play in :)
    Soon it will be like the trees were never there, but will be warming your family :) :firepit:

    How is the lawn looking? Looked like we messed up a few small areas but not too bad overall.

    Cleaning up after the stumps are ground out is another big chore. Lots of mulch mixed with dirt.
