Tree Progression

Here is the dreaded tree progression.

My lovely maple tree first week of April.

My poor tree in pieces April 11th.

What used to be my driveway after they “cleaned” it up.

Grass is all dead and torn up after the “clean up” They finally got it cleaned up May 24th.

Even the sidewalk got tore up during the “clean up”

After we cleaned it up. Looking much better. Not sure what to do about the tree stump. It’s still very much alive and it’s pretty tall for a “stump”. Yard and stump are an eyesore but hopefully grass will be lush and green in the bare patches in no time.

I know a lot of people don’t understand my attachment to a “tree” but it is what it is. I have plans for a beautiful, colorful tree once we find a way to remove the stump.
