from the forest. Previous owners hadn't cleared brush, saplings, or weeds in ... well, nearly forever.
So between the chainsaw and tree pruner, my wife and I have doubled the size of the back yard. And there's nearly that much more still to be cleared.

| Looking to the west side of the yard, part of the area we cleared 2 weeks ago. Note the extensive root system and mounds. Will require a rather spendy root-grinder rental to level the area. Note: there's nearly that much more off the right-hand edge of the photo, which we also cleared by chainsaw. |
It's definitely a work in progress, and not your typical suburban lawn. Technically speaking, we don't have a lawn in back ... or in the front yard either, for that matter. :)

No grass to mow.
What Ed said. Always a bright side. :-)
I would take your trees and scenery over a well manicured lawn any day of the week. Beautiful.
Very little, Ed. We can mostly do it with a weed eater.
Linda, agreed.
Vicki, strangely enough, we agree with every word. :)
