A Change in the Air

Before...........

What a difference a day makes. When two large trees in the front yard in Red Deer outgrew their space, they had to go.  Both trees were around 30 years old.  The 30 foot May Day had developed black knot as well as a secondary fungus.  It had grown so large that it had invaded the 50 foot spruce that was front and center.   Despite lots of creative brainstorming and advice from experts the trees could not be saved and the forest hideaway became a prairiescape in a day.  Stay tuned for further updates.


After........
The MayDay and the Spruce gone, the new sidewalk and Quarry patio stones in..........
Waiting for the next step......
