Attack of the Vines!

Over this past weekend the guys worked diligently clearing the back yard. It was totally overgrown with fallen trees, knocked down fences, and vines. The vines were out of control! They included blackberries, raspberries, wild roses, honeysuckle, grapes, and other unknown varieties. This place hasn't been maintained in many, many years ~ it needed some attention and TLC!

A gate was found along the fence line...
















The black vultures watch over the guys as they work, just checking on them, making sure they're still alive!


Trees are down underneath the vines








A pear tree that's way out in our backyard


Look, we can see our house from out back now!







After the work, the men go on a ride...

How did you clear the ground so quickly? Whats your process? We need to start trying to clear some more of our land but it always seems to take a long time. Looks really good by the way!

It takes alot of sweat & muscle, a couple chainsaws, a pair of trimmers, an axe, and a rented industrial chipper/mulcher. And time. We're still working on it.
