On-going issues with several large oak trees in the easement on the south side of the property prompted us to seek advice from a certified arborist as to the future viability of these trees, and the potential of property damage posed by these old trees. Because of previous damage from severe prunings by the power company, the arborist determined that a few of these trees were left structurally unsound. On that advice, the Board made the decision to have two of these trees removed and the stumps ground down below grade. The pictures here capture that process.
