An ongoing job I've had for the past couple of weeks was to trim some red tips (
Photinia spp.). I grossly underestimated the time it would take me to trim and chip all these shrubs. I use the term shrub loosely because as you can tell from the pictures, these had turned into small trees.
Dad recently bought a chipper and this job put it to the test. It did very well chipping the limbs, however the thick foliage proved to be more difficult to get to go through. After many more hours than anticipated, some help from Dad and Matt, and a broken chainsaw, I eventually got done. It really opened up his driveway and allowed some sunlight to get in.

Once again, another lesson learned.
