Tree

On May 22, we had to get our big oak tree in the backyard cut down due to an infestation of mold and attack from woodpeckers. It wasn't all the way dead yet but we decided it would be best to bring it down or risk it possibly falling on our house and costing a lot of money in the future.

Here's the before picture.

In the process of being cut down.

The large pile of mulch left over by the stump grinder. We ended up putting some of this in the flower beds and the rest we spread over the part of the yard where there is not grass yet.

The new tree we bought to replace the one that came down but a little further back than the original. Our plans are to eventually buy some more grass to fill in the yard and to have a gazebo built so we can chill in the backyard.
