The Trees…(before and after)

Removing the trees is really gut wrenching. The two maple trees were 48” and 50” in diameter and stood 70-80’ high. They provided a lot of shade and greenery. The lot looks naked with out them standing tall. Unfortunately both trees had substantial rot in their trunks. One half of tree to the right was hollow almost 40’ up. The tree to the left was split down the middle to the ground with a large rotten section in-between. The arborist we consulted advised that both trees were at the end of their lives. It makes me wish that whoever planted them had chosen to plant oaks instead of silver maples.
