Tree Removal

There is a really old cottonwood in our backyard. Cottonwoods have short lives, I guess, for a tree: about 70 years. The garden hasn't been touched in a long time. The cottonwood dominated the yard. An arborist came and strongly recommended removal. He said it would 'crush' the neighbor's house.

The split trunk is hollow on the right.
So one trunk came down today. Here are the guys pulling a big section of the tree, the part at the top of this right hand trunk. There is so much more light coming into the house already.

The front was overgrown too. We took out a big topped spruce, some arborvitae, and a bunch of overgrown juniper. I love seeing the columns and the long horizontal expanse of the house become more visible. When the trees are pruned in winter we should see the form of the house even better.

    Nice information on the blog. Removing large trees is a mammoth process and only experienced arborists who are completely insured to perform this task. We need to take all necessary precautions while removing trees so that nearby buildings, electric wire and other obstacles are not damaged.
