My front yard is going to have a complete overhaul.
The city requires that the home owners be responsible for the sidewalks and trees. Had a Landscaping service out yesterday. They spent over 2 hours with me on what my concerns were and what I needed to have done.
I had told them a few trees needed to be trimmed back. Also told them I suspected Termites in one of them. They checked. Sure enough Both trees are fully infested. One in particular, if we get anymore rain or a large truck vibrating from the street that the tree can come down. It sounded hollow. One had live termites found in a test trunk check. The roots of them have not only pushed up the sidewalk, they have cracked them into a tripping hazard.
So the trees will be cut down. Stumps removed everything will be chipped.Area will be cleaned and leveled out.
Then they will be removing the roots from the trees out of the lawn.
Again leveled. Lawn replaced and mowed.
They can't do the sidewalks unit the roots are gone.
They have to pour six huge sections of sidewalk.
I'm not sure how many workers will be here this weekend. Was told it will be done in 1 to 2 days.
It will be in the 80's.
For a complete overhaul like that. Should I buy them lunch?
Keeping them dehydrated is given thing.
