It's been a really bad year for elms here unseasonably dry followed by unseasonably wet more rain than I can ever remember in august. I've seen more big elms die from Dutch elm disease this year than in the previous 4 or 5 years. We've done a lot of 50"+ elms that were big tree even when I was a kid. Pretty sad to take them down but it pays the bills.

Another day another tight spot. I'll be glad when we get back on some open jobs

Had to deal with this stupid thing last week. It was way too big in a very small spot. It had ruined 2 driveways and at least 15 ft of side walk and was still going strong. Elderly owner finally got tired of it, and asked to have it removed. It took almost as long to grind the stump as it did to cut the tree down. Filled a 30 yard truck almost full just with grindings.

What do you do with all the wood? Dump it? Burn it yourself? Make firewood to sell? Give it away?

A little bit of everything if it’s straight and a good species for burning I save it. Then sell it as firewood in the winter. Some stuff goes to a local guy with a small mill that makes boards and carves things. Some we give away if it’s closer than hauling it back to my place. Some gets dumped depending on the size and if the town dump can handle it.

This is one of 2 stock piles on my place right now, I should probably quit hauling in for awhile until
We catch up on splitting
