While the felling of our tall cedar tree, with its high-wire chills, was exciting, what happened with the branches was no less fascinating. They were all ground into a fine mulch with a machine the crew parked in our driveway. The mulcher ran most of the day, devouring the trees branches, leaving only the trunks on the ground to be dealt with.
The mulching process was messy. It left a layer of fine sawdust and small chunks of wood on our terrace and on the ground around the machine. I don't think the crew realized how much wood dust there was on the deck until I asked them to clean it up. It was starting to look like a red clay tennis court. The guy who did the clean up used a leaf-blower to clear the deck. It took him about fifteen minutes.
I admire you for asking them to clean it up. I might have said never mind and then spent hours on my own. What a process.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a load of that mulch.

Wow, once I realized you were taking that photo from the deck, I realized how huge that mass of mulch was. Wow! Did you get to keep any of it, or do they take it all?
