Image
On 11/16/2024 we cut down a leaning Catalpa tree with exposed roots. The tree was located in the parking area, and we felt it was unsafe. In addition, we cut up several trees that were already on the ground into logs. The logs were used for edging on the right side of the parking area. We worked for 4 hours.

Cut Up Trees on Ground and Marked Dead Trees

On 10/19/2024 we cut up several trees that were already on the ground into logs. We then added some of these logs to the corduroy road. In addition, while the leaves were still on the trees, we marked the trees that were dead by placing a notch in them on the side facing the road at chest height. This way during the winter we will know which trees are dead and can be cut down. We worked for 4 hours.

The Only One Grass Cut Of The 2024 Season

Image
On 08/04/2024 we began the one and only grass cut of 2024. We used a manual weed whip and scythe. We worked for 4 hours. Then we finished cutting the grass on 08/11/2024 through 08/15/2024 working approximately 2 hours each day for a total of 10 hours. This time we used a manual weed whip along with an electric hedge trimmer plugged into a gas generator. The electric hedge trimmer was used to cut the majority of the grass, and it did a great job considering a lot of the grass was over 6 feet tall.

Cut Down Two Dead Trees on Right Near Road

Image
On 07/13/2024 we cut down two dead trees on the right side of the property close to the road. We used a pole saw to set a rope around the upper half of the trees. We then attached the rope to an already fallen tree on the ground. We used a come-along to get the trees to lean away from the road. We then made the face cuts and back cuts at the base of the trees with the two-man saw to get them to fall away from the road. When they were close to falling, we pulled the saw out and used wedges to finish getting them to fall away from the road. We worked for 4 hours.
