That's exactly what hubbie is doing today. <br /><br />Of course, here it's cyclones that we have to be wary of ... and old Eucalypts are notorious for suddenly dropping huge branches of just simply falling over. We have two huge Cadaghi Gum trees over our driveway and close to our house and another Eucalypt right behind our bedroom wing. Not the best positions for trees known to be unstable when they grow old.<br /><br />I just wish hubbie would get the professionals in to do the job, but apparently that's not the solution when you can do it yourself! We shall see how it all pans out ... I have the feeling I'm going to be looking at squashed sections of garden this afternoon!BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407536677491483664.post-40506185438941264272011-01-07T17:38:09.163-05:002011-01-07T17:38:09.163-05:00You did what you needed to do.

The county has decided they need to go. So, I don't have to pay a thing. Since I don't live there full time, your photos are probably what they'll be doing to my yard.<br /><br />(not the same type of tree but dead and could come down in a storm ... that's what they told us and thus they are doing it for free)JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434534658681194289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407536677491483664.post-51069891638269701482011-01-07T16:53:37.177-05:002011-01-07T16:53:37.177-05:00I was REALLY interested in this post.
Yes, choppin...I was REALLY interested in this post.<br />Yes, chopping trees down is a bit traumatic but, in this case, necessary.<br />Do NOT replace with Leylandia.<br />Hideously suburban.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964291132366262298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407536677491483664.post-41871953762581897662011-01-07T16:37:04.957-05:002011-01-07T16:37:04.957-05:00I would not have hesitated what needed to be done!...I would not have hesitated what needed to be done! Clearly, they were unsightly (I never like to see ivy covered trunks) and the lot line gives you an opportunity to frame the house with new trees.
