Jared Landscaping Co.

Last Friday Jared and I both had the day off of work…so we went together to a big nursery to pick out some shade plants for the left side of our backyard. Jared was so sweet and patient… knowing full-well that every plant I set on the cart meant more work for him. He came right home and dug holes in our clay-like soil through the tangled mess of aspen roots and planted these beautiful plants for me.

On Saturday Jared cut down some dead tree limbs in the top of one our aspen trees (actually, he basically cut off the top of one 20+ft tree). We knew the top of the tree was dead, but we had no idea why until he cut it down.

We found that an old vine had wrapped itself around our tree and was strangling the life out of it. Joel, I was thinking you could use this analogy in one of your DL talks/trainings. Hahah...
But really...I do actually think it's a good analogy...a strong 20+ft tree was killed by what started out as one tiny vine that was allowed to overtake the tree and suck the life out it.

Jared (who I now call Ax-Man) took care of that vine!
It seemed as though a whole section of our backyard was full of dead branches and dead vine by the time he was done.
We still haven't killed those darn squirrels yet. I'm hoping that the squirrels will learn of Jared's reputation as Ax-Man and get scared away.
