THE TREE THAT NO LONGER WAS

I always find it extremely hard to remove/kill any living, growing thing. Why is that? Is it based on my roots in Christianity....the 10 Commandments "thou shall not kill", or from Buddhism...........I may come back in my next life as the tree I just cut down?


My Landscaping Crew
Juan and Miguel

Tools of Choice
Juan will be using a chainsaw
and Miguel will be using a "Foam" Pirate Sword

End Result
Sad....Bare....Empty
In fair representation of the homeowner (me), the Pepper Tree had to come down. Usually for growth to occur you need to provide water, proper maintenance and care......we did none of this and the tree began to overtake the backyard. The canopy of the tree was killing our grass and had extended so far it was dropping leaves into the pool. In one word.....MESSY!! We didn't even plant this tree, a bird dropped it along the fence line, in the beginning we thought it provided nice security and privacy. We also learned Pepper Tree's have a horrible root system and it could cause problems with our pool plumbing if it became much bigger, so out it came.
Todd will be removing the stumps this week,
we will then "plan" with a Landscape Architect the correct plants that should be used along the fence line for privacy and easy care!
