Spring Work

After a mild winter a warm spring has given us the opportunity to work on cleaning up from our winter tree trimming project.  Stumps were ground down in early March and the result is mounds of grindings.  After the grindings are hauled to our compost area, we begin backfilling the holes with topsoil from our compost area.  The amount of material moved is large and takes a number of days.  Currently, we are in the process of finish grading and seeding these areas. 

During the winter the willows front left of 13 tee were removed and we were faced with stumps on a steep slope that could not be ground down by a conventional stump grinder.  So, we were forced to dig them out with an excavator.  As you can see a huge hole was dug and was immediately repaired to match the surrounding grade.
