2018 Tree Work & Other Snaps

December 30, 2018 Elizabeth

Realized we never shared any of the tree work we did this past year. We had the trees in the backyard cleaned up. The Poplar trees were removed and the ash trees that had suffered Emerald Ash Borer disease. Luckily, the walnut tree is able to be salvaged and the tree guy thinks it’ll do well without the diseased ash crowding it. We also had our huge White Pine tree from by the driveway removed. It had heaved up the earth around it during a windstorm and we were worried about it coming down. That was quite the undertaking and really transforms the look on that part of the house. We are hoping it’ll allow some of the other hard woods to come in there. Here’s some snaps of the tree work this year and a few others that haven’t been shared.

I didn’t get any before images of the Pine Tree, but here’s after. It was a BIG tree.

And, some other snaps from this year!
