Wha, sounds like a job for the professionals with a bucket loader to take them down in sections. Big bucks. DH uses the truck and ropes to assure that the trees he takes down end up where he wants them, but having a whole grove is tough, not to mention the power lines. If they get rotten enough, call the power company and they might take them down.

We got one big tree taken down in Vt courtesy of them, as it was about to wipe out the lines. But another big tree, they decided was our problem. We have left it so far as it is too big for us to do and the cost would be many hundreds of dollars. When when it falls, it will go toward the brook and do no damage. Here it is. You can see how rotten it is at the base.

Redchic01, maybe you should come east and become for some of us, our personal Lumber Jackie and garden photographer and general inspirationalist for planting new things. You could do a big loop and visit us all. Patti
