Original bids on tree removal were for about 12 trees within the existing fence line on our property; after we got the property survey done and discovered our property was actually about 33' deeper and 22' wider at the back end of the farm yard, and that our property held 46 trees was a surprise, which changed our tree removal project from a financially burdensome residential tree removal, to a much lighter out of pocket logging project.
We've struggled and floundered a bit through this project, but thankfully we've had a great supportive group in friends, family and community, and we've had the ability and determination to change tack when a certain course wasn't working, to forge ahead in getting this big project done as efficiently and professionally as possible.
Not complete yet, but prepped and ready for the loggers to come in and start bringing trees down, we're on standby, just waiting for a start date :)
Here are some pictures of what we've accomplished along the way.
