So Long Sweet Gums!

We have a handful of sweet gum trees in the back yard. If you're not familiar, these awful trees drop very spiky things that hurt like heck if you step on them. As part of the landscape plan, we are to remove two of the trees from the yard.

The neighbor had a tree trimmer over at her house today. Chad decided to walk over and have the guy give us an estimate on the removal. SO glad he did! If we removed the trees today while they had the equipment here, we could save over 60% on estimate given by the landscape design firm. We ended getting four trees removed altogether.

It was fascinating to watch the guy climb the tree and cut it down! Apparently he is not afraid of heights! Check it out.
