We hated to do it, but some long overdue maintenance of our glorious willow tree took place recently. We've done our best over the years to have it trimmed but only as much as necessary, since it is a truly beautiful tree.
However, it had also gotten pretty out of control, and between leaning over the studio and draping over the hydro line....and we were afraid to park anywhere near it on a windy night.....which is half the nights. Clearly it needed some attention beyond what I could do with a ladder and a hand saw.
The fine folks at Deer Run Excavating came out with their bucket and chipper, and did a wonderful job trimming the tree. They even did all the cleanup, which saved me a bunch of time and effort and trips to the yard waste depot.
We didn't want to "top" it altogether, but did want it cut back fairly significantly, so that we wouldn't just be running into problems again in a few years. The end result looks pretty sparse, but we also know that the tree will rebound and fill out again quickly.
Think of all the free time I'll have, not constantly cleaning up dead branches from the ground!
