Silver Maple Tree Removal

Wichita Tree Service came out on Dec. 30-31 to remove the large Silver Maple in the middle of the lot.  We had hoped to keep the tree, but it's location and age made it a likely culprit for damaging our new home at some point in the near future.

Here's a video Wichita Tree Services posted on its Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/495164193887633/videos/959022474168467/
