Spring cleaning 2014

Saturday was a good day to get out and start some spring cleanup, thinning some trees and transplanting 2 red maples.

First task was to transplant 2 red maples that have not been doing so well in their location. Not enough sun. They were growing but very slowly. The fact that they had such a strong root system was surprising. We managed to move these two, so now we have 6 aligned down one side of the driveway.

Next, time for some thinning of the trees. First step is prep work for the tools being used.

Then its time to trim some of the branches.

A few trees have to be removed.

And dragged away.

It was time to pull out the wood chipper to get rid of the branches but the engine would not run properply. Time for repairs.
