We had Chippen Tree Service come in today to take out the maple trees West of the lawn. They have been shading the other plants and putting lots of debris in the gutters. I discovered today that the Southwest gutter is plugged up with leaves from them.
This is the first tree they fell.
They set the chipper up on the trail into the Northwest corner of the lawn. It sure makes short work of those maple limbs.
This is the first big maple they fell, Vera said it shook the house.
This is not a job I would like and he was working with sore ribs after a run in with his dad's cow as they were loading it into a trailer. They mentioned that they are getting his dad a cattle prod for Father's day.
It didn't look like a lot of fun leaning over to cut limbs off so the tree would fall the right direction.
There was quite a bit of firewood from the trees they fell to the North.
This is the biggest tree going down after having the limbs trimmed off on the house side of it.
Here is the first load of chipped up limbs, we are going to use them on the trails and flower beds.
After dumping the truck they moved the chipper to the East side of the house.
All the maples are down in this picture and they are doing the final cleanup and cutting up the firewood. They put in a long day, they got here about eight thirty and it was close to three when they left. They did a great job and were very friendly people to talk to.
