Beautiful.... i cut and trimmed mine today too...
I agree with you. I love working outside. It is my passion. Your yard looks great.
Yes good job pal...is that Japanese Acer tree or a dwarf maple?
Japanese maple
Satisfying when you finish, completely or just for the day, and sit back with beverage/relaxant of choice, and think 'i did that'
I feel compelled to plant, or prune what’s there. In my neighborhood, folks mow constantly ..with big loud ‘riders.’ I’ve been told, ‘that’s why we don’t plant trees,’ ‘ya gotta mow around em!’ I hate mowing, but love trees!
If you’d like to ‘tune that big one up,’ get in there while it’s dormant and remove anything growing: straight up, straight down, toward the center (trunk), or dead. After that, the tree’d be about 85% pruned
Looks nice. I have a large yard, plant a few flowers, cut grass, trim. I am a minimalist though, nothing real fancy. Grass is part weeds, my backyard is near a farm field. I refuse to use anything to control them and let nature take over. Also a lot of evergreens around the house and yard. I prefer to keep it as natural as possible. Lots of birds, rabbits, squirrels, even had a fox coming around.
Beautiful! The neighbourhood looks lovely. Acers are lovely too.
