New Driveway Prep, Before & After (Plus, A Running Total Of The Cost)

So right here’s what it seemed like earlier than they acquired right here yesterday morning (though the 11-foot chain hyperlink gate had already been eliminated)…

And right here’s what it seems like now after they minimize the entire timber down yesterday, despatched them by way of the wooden chipper, after which got here again early this morning and floor the entire stumps down.

I additionally had them do some trimming on the pecan tree in entrance to take away the entire low branches that have been scraping the highest of my van each time I’d pull to the again.

Then there have been these two actually huge piles of limbs from the emergency limb elimination that needed to occur the morning the fellows arrived to construct my workshop. The image is a bit deceiving. I don’t suppose it captures simply how huge these piles actually have been.

So all of that acquired picked up and despatched by way of the wooden chipper.

In addition they did fairly a little bit of trimming and clear up behind the workshop. There’s nonetheless a lot that must be performed, however proper now, the driveway is the main target. I simply wanted the piles left behind from the workshop, and something that might be in the way in which of the driveway to be eliminated.

As a humorous sidenote, I’ve to snort that each one that’s been to our property within the latest days (concrete man, tree trimming guys, the fellows who got here out to take away the fence and gate) have all remarked about how we have now an empty lot behind us. 😀 They’re all the time so shocked to search out out that that’s a part of our lot. I’m telling you, it’s very uncommon to have such an enormous lot inside town. That’s one of many most important causes I needed to purchase this home.

After which in addition they cleaned up the entire huge piles of brush that I had piled up from the limbs I minimize down earlier than my workshop was constructed, and so they trimmed the timber again that have been hanging low over the place the driveway will prolong behind my workshop.

And one remaining factor. They removed the junk tree that retains rising on this space in entrance of the breakfast room. They minimize it down, after which floor the stump. So now I have to put one thing on it so that it’s going to by no means come again. That factor grows like every week. Once I trimmed it to do {the electrical} retailers on the facet of the studio, the factor had grown AGAIN to not less than 20 toes excessive, if not increased. My mother has one at her again fence that grows a few foot every week, if not quicker. It’s insane!
