In the meantime, we had a medium size red-tip tree cut down. That sucker was blocking our ability to get back to the backyard AND it was blocking some of the sun to our garden. While I'm not a fan of cutting down tress (as you can tell by the intro of this post), there are some instances where it's OK.
Now I technically could have cut this down myself with a chainsaw. But we don't have one. I explained that to our friends at Sox and Freeman Tree Service but his prompt reply (he's a friend of ours) was "I know you are a strong woman but you have no business owning a chainsaw!" What!? Think I might be a little dangerous with one? Probably.
BEFORE said tree removal:
Do you even see the gate? Nope. And see how the guy is leaning? That's how we had to squeeze around the tree to get to the backyard.
And here it is AFTER:
Much better! Now the garden can have light and we can make it to the backyard minus any neck or head injuries. Another easy little update that makes life so much easier. OK, maybe not life - that's a little dramatic - but it does make accessing part of our yard easier.
So back to the sycamore tree...any suggestions on what to do with the stump that will remain? I'm toying with having them leave part of it so that I can use it for something like a place to hold a bird squirrel feeder, bird bath or plants? Have you done anything similar and can share some suggestions?
