We found that one side of the big oak tree at the apex of our front yard was rotten at its base. It was overhanging both the retaining wall and where I park my RV so we couldn’t take a chance of it falling and decided to have it removed. We hired Colt Langstaff, a certified arborist to take it down. Turned out to be quite an event with all the neighbors stopping by to watch him surgically remove it so as not to drop it onto the retaining wall or damage the sprinkler heads on the lawn. Beer flowed in the audience all day long. Since we couldn’t use the wood I gave it to my friend Alan and it amounted to several cords worth. Alan, Taylor and I split, sawed, chipped and hauled it away. The RV parking spot is now all clean and safe.
