We had a tree service in yesterday to remove some trees and to trim up a couple. They got it all done and it has changed the openness for viewing the river. Three of the trees taken down were dying and the fourth was always dropping limbs. We had two trees in the front yard trimmed up and it really makes it brighter in the front yard. Took a lot of pictures and have trimmed it down to these.
This is one of the trees in the front yard that needed trimming.
This is how it look after being trimmed.
This is the other tree that needed trimming.
The after look.
This is an old Cedar tree right outside the kitchen window that was dying.
Down it comes.
They stuck the whole tree in one piece into the chipper.
There is the end of the Cedar tree.
This was the Willow tree that was so messy and not really of any value.
This was just as the tree was coming down, but the tree service truck blocked the view.
The also stuck the Willow tree in the chipper in one whole piece.
The end of the Willow.
The new view with the Willow gone.
The two Pine trees in the middle of the picture were the other two trees removed. They were dying.
Preparing the first one. He climbed 3/4 the way up the tree and tied the rope.
Rope tight and ready to be cut.
Making the last cut. I didn't get the tree falling, but it came down quickly.
This is the top half of the trunk of the first Pine tree. The machine ate it right up.
End of the log. They kept the bottom half to make into firewood.
Making the cuts on the second Pine tree.
It also had a rope tied up in the top and came down easily where they wanted it.
Pine trees gone and a new view to the river.
