it was a grove of mostly junk trees, covered with poison ivy and grape vines, that Had been allowed to grow up with no maintenance on our 1 acre. One acre is not a huge place when there’s a bunch of trees on it. Included in the grove was one large white oak. It was 1/4 dead. Once it was a nice tree but no longer.Originally Posted by happystuff
DH started this project in Spring 2018. There must’ve been 30 -40 trees in that Grove. He took out another 8 to 10 near the house, all things that have been planted by birds not carefully tended, and were messy.
He’s known on our block as “the chainsaw guy” And probably drives the neighbors crazy. I know Jane would be driven mad by the noise. But it is nearly over. There’s another three or four trees to come down By my flower garden but I’m in no hurry for him to take them down because they’re on the northside and don’t block sunlight so they are OK for the time being.
This property was ignored and uncared for for about seven years. The last people who lived here were here only a year and they are nice people, but they liked the wildness of it.
At one point just a few years ago the city of Hermann hired a private company to come in and take care of much of the yard and billed the owner who is absentee
