Backyard Cedar Tree Landscaping



We are going to clean out a cedar thicket and move a water break in the backyard.







I'm going to start by clearing out the dead underbrush and cut as high as I can reach.



I remove branches and clear the way as I work deeper into the thicket.



Keep all straight cedar branches for multiple uses around the homestead. I sort the keep branches from the burn branches as I go.
The rock water break will be moved back to the new outer edge of the backyard.




Cedar burns hot, so make sure conditions are right before lighting the fire.

The water break has been moved back to slow water flow into the yard. With the lower limbs and brush gone, the soil will receive enough sunlight to produce natural vegetation for various wildlife.
