When our house was built in 2017, two Red Maple trees were included in the landscaping. Both grew fast and one became a problem. It was too close to The Coop, our outdoor kitchen. But erosion also started exposing the roots. And the tree was sapping all the water from the ground, starving the grass and some hedges that we wanted to grow taller.
Our friends from Galveston, Lora and Darian, wanted to come to visit, and Darian said he would take the tree down for us. Being so close to The Coop and generator, not to mention the fence and other plants, we were hesitant to say yes. But he insisted that it would not be a problem.
By yesterday afternoon, the tree was down and all the limbs and the trunk were ready to to be taken to a burn pile tomorrow morning.
It actually looks much better. Here is a photo of the tree about five months after being planted. The Coop is being measured for the posts.
