What a day of tree removal. No, din't do any o the actual work myself, but it is fairly stressful watching a team of workers saw down three giant trees on your property, wondering if they're going to come crashing through the windows or the side of the house.
Luckily, we picked an awesome contractor to do it, they were professional and experienced, and it went off without a hitch. We got the big dead tree (the halloween tree, I call it) from the side of the house removed, that was the key to the whole situtation. It was rotting, and huge branches were broken, just waiting to come down onto the house, the neighbours house, our heads perhaps..very dangerous. While we had them there, it was just a bit more to get them to take down the wasp-maget weeping birch in the back yard (which resulted in a nice pile or firewood for the fire pit). Lastly, at the last minute we asked if they could take the yard-killer spruce fromt he front of the house, and they did. We are now treeless, and that is a good thing.
We're in one of those older neighbourhoods where the trees have really taken over the property, to the point of being dangerous. We like trees. Just not these ones.
I'm sure that 30 years ago, they were fine.

Weird... We're getting all the evergreens yanked tomorrow. Coincidence? Um, well, yeah.
