My husband is a logger. He loves to cut big trees down. He is not allowed in my yard unsupervised with a chain saw. He gets a little crazy with it sometimes!
Sandy, Could I borrow him for a couple of days? LOL I wish my husband could cut down trees. I have dozens more I could get rid of if it didn't cost so much.
I didnt believe you when you said you had ugly pines, since i love big conifers and have a fondness for them. If I had a bigger garden I certainly would have some...BUT, yes, your pines are ugly! I believe you now, LOL!
I'm curious how much they charge where you live. Are they taking them down in pieces or laying them all down? Do they buck them up in pieces and haul the debris away?
Yes, they ARE UGLY, GGG. Sandy, they have to climb each one because they cannot get their equipment in to that area. They will take them down in pieces and put it all thru a chipper, except for the trunks, which they cut in 8ft sections and take with them. On these 8, I have told them to leave the stumps, but usually they grind them out too (extra $50 a tree). I will pay $2,000 to get rid of these.
Alice, I know I will enjoy seeing the maple. It will be a lot work to get that area fixed up, but I need a new project.
Sandy, thanks on the picture comment. I just figured out to get the profile photo, but I did not realize that EVERY time I post it gets stuck in there.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

I can see why you want to be rid of those trees. The view of that maple will be well worth the effort. I've so enjoyed your gardening photos.
