Came back and finished this job today with three more trees added to the work, which filled the entire day. Put a small fence around the tree to prevent people from falling into the excavated area.

Talked to the property owner today and told him there wasn't too much hope for the tree; but it's lean is away from property/people so we'll just wait and see. For now I'm building a temporary fence around the excavation hole (greater than 2' deep) as changing grade on this scale is just not...
