"Pine-ing" Away

Living in GA makes it nearly impossible to get away from the fact that pretty much the whole state is inundated with trees-- as was the case with our back yard. We decided that if we ever want to get some grass back there that we better get some of them taken down. A few weeks ago we had 10 trees taken out and thus got rid of all the pines!! Yes!! We still have trees back there but at least they won't drop all the junk that pine trees do.

It was fun watching the crew work. We have a gi-normous mulch pile! And now we will start saving for the next phase of the project. Manure! Gotta get that good fertilizer in there so grass can have a chance of growing.

Enjoy the pix!

Wow, you couldn't pay me enough to get that high... your back yard looks beautiful... I like the privacy fence, such a piece of mind to have the kids playing safe in there... we have a lot of dead trees that make me very worry during storms, we need to get them cut as well.

So much work! We have cottonwoods surrounding our yard that are dieing off one by one and they're such a pain (and expensive) to cut down. Your yard is nice and big and that deck looks rather new! I hope you enjoy the added space!
