It's time to start sharing the images of 'the' tree coming down. This is how it looked when we got home from our walk on Thursday afternoon. It was pretty windy, so they started by thinning out some of the trees from the bottom of the garden before starting with the branch removal on the Douglas Fir. The man in red is Julian, the owner of the company we hired to do the work. He's a hands-on boss, and his wife dons her overalls and gets stuck in too. Extremely hard work for both of them, and the tree climber (who you can just see half way up the tree).
wow that Douglas fir is high! I suppose its too near to the house so it has to come down. Good to see people who know how to do this rather than just swing a chainsaw!
Love seeing the tree work but also admiring your house & garden too. Love all the trees round you…the one coming down won’t be missed as much when you are surrounded! Happy chain sawing!
Wow that's quite a height ...I wonder how long it had been standing tall?
It's quite staggering how much they grow. Nice little tree by the house once upon a time no doubt. The only thing to do is get the experts involved in the removal... it's a work of art.
