My favorite guys from Brandlen Tree Care, (907) 357-8855, are back in the yard cutting down another dead cottonwood. This one is quite close to the garage, but these guys know their business and it fell perfectly in an open space brilliantly missing everything.
The dead logs are pulverized into wood chips that we plan to spread around on the walkways in the garden. Now we have a huge pile of chips next to the huge pile of snow left from plowing the driveway last winter, as soon as the snow melts we’ll start disbursing chips. There is always something to do in the yard now, we’ve had six months of rest during the cold dark winter, and are ready to be outdoors again!
