Taking all these trees down was a hard thing to do but a necessary one. The cherry tree's root system was affecting the structure of the front stairs and the drainage. The cedar and birch trees presented issues with the drainage system, water main, and foundation. The plum and london plane in the back were in the building envelope of our planned detached garage and parking. Some shrubs were removed as well in back to make way for a sunken patio. The entrance to Joelle's Doctor's office will be moved from the rear of the house to the side, accessed by a wheel chair accessible ramp. Six to eight months of renos scheduled by www.abstractdevelopments.com so stay tuned for more pics.
