Continued from git er dun.
Progress is a little slow getting started here, but we have four huge trees in the ground and trenches dug for the sprinkler and drainage systems. The trees are Spring Snow. These are almost fully mature (8-9 years old) that you can’t come by very often (or for the deal we got on them). I feel giddy and a little sorry that our trees are easily the biggest in the whole neighborhood. Most everyone else planted spindly four-footers that more resemble a weed than a tree. The neighbor directly behind us has a similar variety of tree, but at half the size. It’s amusing that one day we had a dirt lot, the next we have instant trees. I was a bit worried about their size and ability to withstand the replanting abuse, but the landscaper isn’t worried about them at all. In any case he warranties them for a year regardless.
