Bush and Tree Removal

We have a tremendous amount of vegetation on the property, some of it is in poor health, some in a bad spot in the yard, and there are a few we just do not like!

Roger's truck is a great way to take out small trees. This 8' Juniper didn't stand a chance.

And why stop there, when you can drag it down the street and back to the burn pile!

We also had quite a few juniper bushes along the front driveway. We were dreading this little chore as a section much smaller than this had taken all day to remove.
But Roger once again came to the rescue and found a much easier solution. What would have taken us several days to do, took this backhoe 15 minutes...

The house is coming along nicely, as is the yard and orchard too. Kori actually just sold our first fruit crop (apricots) from the orchard last saturday! The plums and peaches should be next up the harvest list.

Tree removal is just the beginning, all the weed seeds that have been lying dormant for years will now sprout and take over. Congrats on the new place.
