After you cut that tree down now what

You finally have had enough of tree branches in your yard. You are tired of sweating through every snowstorm wondering if your house is going to be remodeled courtesy of nature. You have had enough of being afraid of the site of lightening while you are in your house. Therefore you finally decided to cut down that tree. Good for you, but now what?

The answer depends on what you intended to do once the tree is removed. I recently cut down a tree, and my neighbor cut down seven trees. We live in upstate New York where there are really a lot of trees. My tree was dying when I bought my house and was getting worse and worse. Each storm would convince me that something needed to be done. Each time I would receive a quote to have it cut down, it always seemed to expensive. Finally this year in the winter, when one should be pricing such work, I got what I felt was an affordable quote. After the work was done the tree company asked if I wanted the ground tree mulch. I politely declined. My neighbor readily agreed to the wood chips and put them all over his yard. He said it was great fertilizer. He may very well be right, but I felt with four kids at home this was not the best idea. I could not guarantee what the woodchips would used for. After all, my kids use my recycled bottles for capture the flag games.

In terms of not using the given fertilizer, I go back to my earlier comment in terms of what will be done with the now vacant area. Do I intend to plant grass in that spot? If the answer is yes, as I plan to do in my yard, then what should be done is as follows. Go to your local homedepot, lowes, or nursery and ask to buy several bags of dirt or soil. The amount of bags will vary depending on the size of whole left by the tree. In my case I think four bags of dirt will do the trick nicely. Now in late April as the weather turns we would go out and place the soil down. A few days after using a rake to really mix the soil into the ground, you would then plant grass seeds. I like to plants grass on either the day prior to it raining, or while it is raining. That way you start off not having to worry about watering them. However you certainly have to water it. There are those who put straw on top to hide it from the birds who love to eat grass seeds. I can understand that and if you have the time and money, feel free to do that.

I went and got my soil and grass seed and am hoping to plant when the weather picks up. I would close by saying if your tree has to come down then, have a plan for the area afterward so you can enjoy and make good use of the space left behind.
