The tree company did an incredible job and left it so clean! The attention to detail they have is spot on!

[oceanbreezes]

I just wanted to say thank you Laura and Aaron for being a place of peace and sanity in this insane world. I actually sighed and relaxed the moment the video started. You are so appreciated ❤️

Just a thought, a small berm beside your entrance gate(where you had been considering a water feature) would look great.
And it would definitely prevent anybody from even contemplating squeezing in past the gate, especially if you incorporated a few half buried rocks/boulders. 😉

“Barn’s burnt down, now I can see the moon.” My favorite saying that pertains to so much in our lives.

I used to play in my grandmothers lilac bush with my sister and a cousin.
It was a very old bush with multiple trunks that was large enough to have 3 “rooms” to hold all 3 of us with some of grandma’s old cracked and broken tea cups & some old spoons and our baby dolls.
The leaves went all the way to the ground so we could hide from our brothers. It took weeks for them to find our “Girls Only Club” when they did, they threw all our dolls & tea cups out into the yard. Oh we had a fit!!! Grandma made them pick it all up, but then she told us we had to share and swap days with them. It just wasn’t the same, so we lost interest, funny when we didn’t want it anymore, they didn’t either. BOYS! lol
Fond memories from a 72 y/o ❤

We had a massive oak fall "on" our house Jan 2018. (It thankfully only clipped the corner of our roof and broke some of our deck). When we looked to see why it came down on a relatively still night, like your tree, ot had heart rot. 😢 My neighbor harvested 8 cords of wood from the limbs and another friend managed to take a couple sections of trunk to his mill to make into table slabs. Four years later, he brought us the most beautiful 3' side table on an old sewing machine frame as a thank you for allowing him to take the oak. What a win-win!!! I pray you find your "win" in this situation too.

That tree removal reminds me of life. When we move, lose a friendship, or struggle with a trail, it opens up so many new possibilities for growth in other areas. While it’s sad, the only thing that stays the same is change. I know you’ll do something spectacular in that space!🩵

Your tree guys are so respectful of your garden and leave it looking so lovely after taking out such a major tree. Kudos to the crew! Super job 👏🏻

Love the two trees by the gate, and how they will create an arch. Such fun projects on your sight today.

[sherylemoore]

I feel your pain over the Locust. I have an old weeping cherry that has seen better days. I know it is time, but I feel like I am losing an old friend. The maples flanking the gate are so lovely. You continue to surprise and inspire me with each new project and planting. The day I found your channel was a game changer for me.

[FrediOlson]

Having watched you for so many years, I got emotional watching the Locust come out. Thankfully you won't have to worry about it coming down in a storm. Looking forward to your plans for that space. Whatever they are, I'm sure they will be beautiful. That tree company is amazing!

[Zinlin-nk]

Like many other viewers, I appreciate the joy you bring to my day. Your videos always feel like islands of safety, sanity, and inspiration. I am grieving along with you at the loss of your locust tree.

[valerieunger]

Ah, Laura. I could feel your sadness throughout this video. And I could feel you pushing through to help you and all of us remember there’s always a silver lining. You are a treasure and I hope you can feel this virtual hug coming your way through the ether!

[LimeLM]

Lauren, I love what you did to those empty lots. Seeing the south garden changing as each year is a joy. Thanks for sharing what you love and bring a little joy to some of our lives.

[tinam]

So sad to see the Locust go it was a spectacular piece in that garden, but now Laura you can work your magic and bring something even more beautiful!

[megansuchy]

And one era has ended but a new one begun. What a blessing to witness ❤

[ingesexton]

I absolutely LOVE the machine they use to move the trees. its one one my favorite things to watch.

[ORBE]

The maples framing the front gates look simply perfect! It really does. Removing the granddaddy locust tree is a good step towards making that garden bed much healthier, and offers a new opportunity to make it all truly your own design. Have a fab week guys! ✨🪴✨

[nnagle]

The tree company was terrific - you would think it was their property when they were cleaning. I loved the "spare" maple - it is always so obvious when people lose a plant in a
row or group. Foresight is especially in gardens like yours.

[karencurtis]

You were wise to remove the tree 🤗, it’s little heart had gone it was a stunning tree and I totally understand your sadness, but you have saved so many this year the tree god will be very thankful to you🥰.
A tree either side of the gate …. I’m 60 and a half 😂🤣 and I hope to see so many of your trees mature over the years to come.
I can’t help but rewatch the first of this years trees with lights, your neighbours are so lucky to get to see the magic happening.
Take care xx xx
