Losing trees from the drought last year

The Dogwood in the top two got a good trim from the dead branches--hope it continues to grow, it blooms out so pretty and had such a pretty shape.

Middle is a tulip tree we had to pull up.

Last one is a Blue Spruce that had to go.

A dead pine tree that is coming down today.  When we moved here they said the pine trees were 18 yrs old and would like for us to leave them and we said had no plans to take them out but now at 44 yrs old one is going. :( 

We have also removed a beautiful Fire Bush and 3/4ths of a Lilac bush.
