RECENTLY,
my buddy steve miller made some comments about trees and how many i "seemingly" get to deal with lately.
well it is true i've had bad luck tree wise but as my mom lives in a town called woodbridge and ct is generally 3rd growth woods well you get the idea.
Milford, where i actually live now is about the same as woodbridge tree wise but being a coastal town gets a heck of a lot more wind.
anyway heres the result
it seems blizzard wind (not so much for the snow this time) + weak tree = another tree job AGAIN this year.
i still have to finish up the broken hemlock at my moms house that snapped in half this winter too.
this was the last tree off a group of four that used to be there.
the huge oak (120' tall /4'+ at trunk) another hemlock , and a smaller oak left with the last hurricane a couple three years ago. I'd just finished cleaning up the last tipped stump and destroyed stone wall last spring and reseeded the lawn around that mess.
the biggest issue as usual is theres no machine access .
so i'll be wrecking chainsaw blades and digging dirt away by hand from roots so i can cut it up again this year.
to add insult to injury my new vegetable garden is underneath said tree right now.
thankfully the neighbor i don't deal with in any way had his garage spared so i don't need to listen to his crabbing this time.
