We bit the bullet and had the giant tree leaning over our living room taken out last week. We've been watching this bad boy since we moved in this house and every hurricane season we get more and more nervous. The past year, we've had so many high wind thunderstorms, we just couldn't take the stress anymore. Plus it was becoming the new trendy neighborhood for a couple million ants...it was rotting from the inside!! If this thing came down, there is no other way for it to fall but to split our house in half. It took 1 day for the guys to get it down and the stump ground and all the pieces hauled away. It took another day to pack up equipment and repair our fence that had to be removed for the heavy machinery.
This is the tree we took out. Notice the rotten trunk.
This is the guy in the cherry-picker getting to the top after removing all the under branches.
Equipment everywhere
The last section of tree comes down
The final product. They did come back and work on the ruts, but we've already got our sprinkler going to get the grass growing again. It's amazing how much bigger our yard feels after that tree is gone and how much more peaceful we will sleep.
