We took a huge Bradford out of this yard, the bed was built up so we had to cut it down before sod. Took out some leyrope and separated beds at road. Sod got there and was froze like a block of ice:cry:Not being from upnorth we hadn't had to deal with that problem. Had to be finished that day for Christmas. Also put fresh mulch

Looks like a nice place to work. I like the warming tent idea. Were these pics yesterday. It is much warmer today than yesterday. Hope the sod lives after a good freeze like that.

nice you scratched the driveway up there a bit. Are those Rhaphiolepis indica around the base of that Crape? Looks like they are all trimmed up, I trimmed some up for a customer but didn't like how they turned out.

We'll see how bad when the pressure washer comes Monday. Those are some kind of hollies. They look like Indian Hawthornes in those pics but I don't think they are.

I think you'll be alright, I was also giving ya a hard time lol. My first time ever using a skid I messed up a paver drive, sh*t happens. Good looking pics and mulch job looks great.

So... how much mulch is that for this year? I remember back around July or so you were up to like 2000 yards or so.
The only thing I move 2000 yards of in a year is snow. LOL.
Looks good, its nice to see green grass.

Your work always looks good, and your equipment is always in top form. I'm a little surprised, though, that you didn't put some plywood down where you tracked the skid across the grass.

Keep up the good work.
