Backyard part 2

We bought a big Chinese Elm tree from the local nursery & paid to have them deliver it & plant it but we had to wait three weeks for it to get here. They finally showed up early on a Monday morning. They pulled up in a big truck and for the next 20 minutes Brooklyn and I watched as they planted our tree.



By the time I got to the front door the guys were already in my backyard digging a hole. It was really weird how no one said hello or double checked where I wanted the tree planted (although we did have it marked). I thought it was also weird that the head guy was just lounging in my chair while the worker bees dug away at our hard ground.
 
 

 These guys were REALLY fast. By the time the last guy was watering the tree all, all the rest were waiting in the truck. He practically ran out of here & hopped on the truck as they were driving down the street. 
20 minutes tops and we had a new tree. It was amazing how fast they were. We hope this tree brings us lots of shade in our backyard and a little privacy from our oh so close neighbors!!
