Tree Trimming

One of our trees in our front yard has lots of new side shoots. Every month or so, we cut off the new growth at the bottom of the tree, yet it comes back quickly. Today was the day to finally do it right, digging up and cutting off the off-shoots at the root. It took the three guys ingenuity, strength, and time but it sure looks good now. The hope is that it was a once and done job - swinging a pickaxe so close to a beautiful tree is not that much fun.
