The path was then covered with landscape fabric and mulch. At the end of the path, the logs were cleared away to allow for entrance into what will be the patio area. Also, some of the first wildflowers of the season started to bloom. We worked for 4 hours.

Tree Cracked and Ready to Fall

-
Image
On 02/17/2025 we heard a tree making a cracking noise in the wind and snow. Upon looking closer at the tree, we discovered a big crack in its trunk. It looked like it could fall at any time. Since we were working close to the tree, we decided to cut it down. It was the largest tree that we cut down that day.  We also cut down 2 smaller trees and cut up another tree that had previously fallen and was on the ground. The roads were snow covered which increased our travel time. As a result, we only worked for 1.5 hours.
