The Leaning Locust...

 We had some tree work done in our yard.
 When the contractor arrived, 
our neighbor called and said he didn't think they brought enough trucks and equipment.
Now that was funny!

They came with a total of 5 trucks and 3 chippers,

and this other thing pictured here...maybe to remove the stumps.

Falkinburg Tree Expert Co.
they got right to work and did an excellent job.


The top of the tree all the way to the left was dead.
The 2 on the right, leaning toward the house were clearly a problem.
All 3 trees were removed.
How that locust tree never blew over and landed on the house is beyond me.



Here's an action shot, they are pulling down the tree on the left.

In the back yard,
we had all of the dead branches pruned off of our big trees.

Here it is today, we still have a lot of beautiful trees there.

It was very sad to see the trees go,
our neighbor took most of the wood to use in his fireplace.

Hello,
It is sad to lose any tree, but if they are leaning towards the house they must come down. It is nice your neighbor was able to take the fire wood. Take care, enjoy your weekend!

I hate to see a big tree go too but it sure is a relief to get them down and have your house safe! That's more important! They amaze me to watch them work!

It is sad to see a big tree die but the removal is a must. Glad they did a good job and your neighbor could use the wood.

Big job done and you can breathe again! The tree that is first in the line up (last picture) is leaning towards your house also-that would make me nervous!🌸

We had to get several tree removed a couple of years ago.. the men who do that job do it well. Nice that your neighbor got a bunch of firewood out of it.

Quite an operation. Sad to lose the old trees but great the wood is used by the neighbour.

It is quite fascinating to watch the tree trimmers at work.

We had tree folks come in twp years back. They did an amazing job and were fascinating to watch!

That was quite an event! It's amazing how they can do what they do!

It looks like they came prepared that is for sure, glad all went well with taking them down. It is always sad to see them go but you have to make sure the house is being taken care of that is for sure.

It does look like a big job and a need for them all. We had 50 Ponderosa pines taken out on our property in Spokane. We had a couple of these trees that were close to our home. It looked so nice when it was all done.
Blessings and hugs for this one!

It is sad to see big trees go but sometimes they are a danger. It is always good to plant replacement trees, that is what I do. The company you hired sure had enough equipment.

It always nice to know a good tree service or individual. Glad they safely removed those trees and you don't have that worry in the back of your mind any longer!

They have done a good job, nice to see your photographs.
That was good that your neighbour was able to use the wood.

Happy Weekend Wishes.

Your neighbour has a good sense of humour Debbie. Looks like a job well done.
