Last fall I had a thread about my missing property pin and the possibility of me moving some of my Arborvitaes. As much as I appreciated the suggestions of not moving them, I thought long and hard and have decided to do it. I was hoping to get it done over the winter, but the amount of snow mother nature dumped here put that plan on hold.
I'm only concerned with moving the newer trees this year... 100 of them ~12' tall as the remainder are over 20' tall. I removed all the mulch...40 large bags worth lol...and cut the sod for 300'. We dug the trench yesterday, so today I need to collect the potatoes (rocks) we harvested and clean up the trench a little. Then I need to tie up the branches like they do with Xmas trees and I'll be ready to start. Doubt I'll move any today as I'm working alone for now. My tree guy will be back when I need him.
I took a few pics yesterday, but they don't really give a true indication of the size of this project. I'll take more today and hopefully better ones as well. If there's any interest in seeing this project in detail...speak up
Well I'm out the door in a few and prepared for a full days work...I have about 11 hrs of daylight in front of me and I intend to use every bit of it!
