Adventures in Urban Forestry

Hard to tell from the picture below but the growth was well out into the street and you couldn't see around the corner at all. But not to fear this potential safety hazard, the City of Austin has an Urban Forestry Department to keep you safe from the perils of my yard. Who knew? After a nice chat with Emily, I called my man Mitch at Xanadu Nursery to come out and give the yard a shave and a haircut. Pictures after the cleanup are here.
