Cut Down Left Half of Dead Tree

-
On 05/18/2024 and 05/25/2024 we cut down the left half of a dead tree at the end of the gravel driveway close to the road. Initially, we tried cutting the top half of the tree so that it would not hit the road. We used tree screws and a rope to climb the tree. We ended up tying one end of a rope to the top half of the tree and the other end to another tree away from the road. We used a come-along to get the tree to lean away from the road. We then made the face cut and back cut at the base of the tree with the two-man saw to get it to fall away from the road. As it was falling, the tree got stuck in another tree. We will have to finish getting it to the ground next time. We worked for 4 hours and then 8 hours.

The contractor finished installing the driveway on 03/16/2022. We began clearing the land for the parking area. The work is being done by ourselves with just hand tools. The brush is being cut up in small pieces and being used for a wood chip parking area. We worked on it for 4 hours.

On 10/15/2023 we cut the grass for the last time this season using a scythe and weed whip. In addition, we laid down another 3-foot-wide row of landscape fabric and mulch in the parking area. We also installed small sections of landscape fabric and mulch spaced 8 feet apart in a row for eastern white pine frost seeding to be done next month. We also weeded the planting bed in preparation for frost seeding black chokeberry next month. We worked for 4 hours.
