| We used Walker Tree Service as they're the fellows you see about town on the power lines, licensed and insured etc etc. Which is a good thing as one of these huge branches fell sidewise and cracked my new siding. It's ok - no one is hurt and I trust they'll fix it. |

| This should also give you an idea how thick and large the trees were - and hopefully, how many leaves we will NOT be raking and mowing this fall! |

| Now it feels sort of empty on that side yard. We also removed a tree that was starting to block our view from the back windows. Much more sun hits our lot now. |
That looks like it was a big tree! Always happy to have less leaves to rake. Hope they fix the siding.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think they will fix it. I haven't paid them yet so here's hoping it gets done soon for everyone's sake. :)
DeleteWe had heavy wind this weekend trees down all over the place.
ReplyDeleteMerle........
See that's why we wanted these down - imagine a tree over 100 feet tall going down on your roof.
DeleteHere in Australia I worry when I see people cutting down large shady trees for no good reason, but that's my view and perhaps they do have a reason. But I see a lot of new developments with not a tree in sight and every home with large airconditioners that seem to run 24/7/365.
ReplyDeleteFrom my side, the trees were WAY TOO TALL and even one branch being cut the wrong way (or whatever happened) was enough to crack my new siding. I think we'll look into getting more trees, but not ones that will dwarf the house and pose danger during storms.
DeleteWOW what a difference it makes! It looks great. I hope they have fixed the damaged siding?
ReplyDeleteSigh... not yet...
