The TREE Comes DOWN In The WALLED GARDEN.

[@PhyllisLeggett-yq9vr]

Please please everyone, give a thumbs up!!,

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Phyllis 🥰

[@beverlybowman813]

I commend you on learning how to do much of the work by yourselves. However, happy to see you unitize the knowledge of a professional tree surgeon.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks for that! 🥰

[@justinanovak8040]

Arborists are amazing! Best for the tree, the garden, and the cottages.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Absolutely 🥰🥰

[@sharontihore1585]

The benefits you got plenty of wood and everything is safe now awesome 🎉🎉

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Again, I have to say what a good pair Ash & Terry make. Ash is in his happy place getting into the dirt & building things. Terry’s happy place is putting the golden jewelry on the projects. I’m hoping my son is lucky to find a good match like that.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much Chrissy 🥰🥰

[@EmilyBoltz]

I almost always miss your lives - grrr but I want to say I’ve been watching from the very beginning. What you as a family along with friends and volunteers have accomplished is beyond amazing - it’s stunning. I know there’s more to come but I just wanted to say what a joy it is to watch the transformations - much love ❤!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much!! ☺️

[@bernardhuneault7805]

The inside of the château is beautiful but the wall garden is my favorite. Maybe because I love gardening.

[@robbiemoriarty7499]

The garden is breathtaking. Love the drone views. So happy you found the tree surgeon.

[@cjtramm8]

You can’t beat a good tree person. Keep their number

[@chateaudelalacelle]

We will! Thank you 🥰

[@UnicornPurple-ut8wf]

Well I think the trees look so much better! Great call! It will keep them healthier!😊

[@vansmom123]

Staying on top of maintenance is always a good thing, so satisfying. I must say, the exterior views just keep getting better and better. You’ve accomplished so much in such a short amount of time, and it’s beautiful! Love the extreme closeup of Sasha and Patrick as they stay on top of your progress. Woof 🥰❤️

[@deborahgallagher-vu5hl]

Yes. I enjoyed seeing Sasha .

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@PatriciaDelsey]

I thought I’d see Nick swinging from the trees. Guess he is still helping Dan. All looks wonderful. The new plantings will be spectacular

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Patricia 🥰

[@stephaniedavis6531]

For a split second, I thought Nick was their tree surgeon as well!!😊

[@lindabaker2905]

I love the fact that arborists are called tree Surgeons, a very apt name‼️

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

Trimming trees is a necessity so limbs don’t fall down and do damage or hurt someone. I’m amazed by the people who do this job. It is very dangerous. You all look tired but you never stop with constant projects to keep improving your home. ❤

[@escapetorural]

I love that big tree! It's home to so many birds that come and sing. It’s such a beautiful sight! 🌲 🍃

[@chateaudelalacelle]

🥰🥰🥰

[@tinekejoldersma]

The Kardoen is beautiful, and the blue Geranium loves the place. To get a Beech that majestic and big it takes a century or more. As it loves no shade on its trunk cutting it back drastically isn't wise. I am glad you asked for a tree surgeon. He knows what he is doing.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Couldn't agree more! 🥰

[@3_3645]

I can't believe it's still blooming. We had a hard frost last night with ice in the puddles. Most of our leaves are down. France looks inviting as long as my home is warm

[@tinekejoldersma]

@@3_3645 France is called the garden of Europe, and not for nothing.

[@avivat3010]

I came in part way through the post. At first I thought you three were cutting the tree by yourselves! 😱Thank goodness for James. As you all are clearly aware and suggest, it's part of your responsibility as a property owner to take care of your trees. It's so good to see that you take it seriously and that you're doing this before the planting starts. All three of you always think of most everything before a job starts, that's one of the reasons I love watching your channel. It really gives some respect for the job to try to hold part of the tree up by ropes doesn't it? Another wonderful post. Thank you for sharing!!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much 🥰🥰

[@lindadunn2591]

We have been working on tree maintenance and preservation for almost 40 years on our property. I cried when we took out our first scrub tree and have since, with my husband, turned our property into 13 separate gardens. It is tough work, but your property shows your dedication to responsible forestry.

[@clairewright8153]

Basically looking after your trees keeps them healthy, keeps you safe and keeps you safe in your home. Great jobs guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@melaniegardner7317]

This is the time of year that gardens do not look great!

[@teepeeX]

It's funny you showed the last clip of what it was. As the last branch was cut I was also thinking of Ash walking thru the mess of green to get to the door.. What a beautiful site seeing how far the outside has come along with an enormous amount of hard work and many hands. Looking good, now to see all the gorgeous plants go it, I wished I could send my rose 🌹 I get about 50 huge roses on every month ❤😊

[@samporter2146]

I'd love to know which rose you have ? 50 roses sounds fabulous. ❤

[@denisemahood9162]

So good to see three generations working side by side. And, thumbs up to allowing a young person to gently begin using 'power' tools. Brilliant decision. 👍

[@kathyevans2968]

This will make a huge difference to your beautiful gardens!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Kathy 🥰🥰

[@kathrynriggs2489]

It always amazes how much mess you get when trees

[@chateaudelalacelle]

We know 🤣🤣

[@karenbrindley7170]

The tree pruning was necessary, and it will look good again in no time. Super excited to see what all you guys create while Shayne and Warren are there.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

We can’t wait 🥰🥰🥰

[@charmees6637]

Beautiful drone footage. Really enjoyed that song Cactus flowers. Satisfying watching the tree surgeon do a terrific job. Thanks for the lovely video ❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Glad you enjoyed it. We did too! 🥰🥰

[@brittawrolson5936]

It may seem drastic to limb back those giant trees, but in reality you are helping the tree by saving good branches and removing broken or diseased ones. And of course you eliminate hazards for roofs and people below as well. Great job! 👍🏻

[@valorimendrala1912]

What a lot of work! But it all needs to be done and it looks great now.

[@troothseeker7312]

Landcare is really important if your going to have visitors & taking care of the Buildings & Wall Gard3n will love what you have done with the Trees. Nature is amazing they will bounce back in better condition now. Thank❤️You for sharing this experience. I look forward to your additional planting (being a keen gardener myself) S👀 You Next Video🥰

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Absolutely!! 🥰🥰

[@jomcgee6094]

It's just going to be beautiful come Spring....looking forward to Sean coming in!!❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Jo 🥰🥰

[@glenyshillary4195]

Glad you got an expert in towelling the trees. Skilled work indeed. Love as always from County Durham xxx ❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Glenys 🥰

[@beaniecat1980]

I just came inside from working in my garden, property, to watch you guys doing the same thing 😊 It is so good to have those problem trees, branches taken care of. The buildings will be safer. It's a lot of work but worth it. My husband and I just spent the last year and a half removing and cleaning up dangerous trees. I am so glad that you had professional help, we did too. It is dangerous work. Everything is looking great 😊

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much 🥰🥰

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Our 1898 house is 4 stories, basement to attic with trees overhanging the roof. Trees are owned by the neighbors, good friends of ours, who keep them trimmed. They cause a lot of issues, like plugging our gutters then sprouting in them. Our roof is only a couple years old. We just paid it off & don’t want more damage. It’s the water pouring over blocked gutters causing us the most trouble. It’s a very good thing to keep up on them. And YES all that hardwood will be free heat! Use all the assets you have on your land!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Absolutely Chrissy 🥰🥰🥰

[@claudialandgraf4450]

Respect: dragging so much branches its such a hard work

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Haha. It was 🤣🥰

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Haha. It was 🤣🥰

[@aprillanders8018]

I watched when you first purchased the chateau!! Wow!! You all did a fantastic job!! So proud of you all working as a family bringing the chateau back to live!!! Lots of love from Tennessee! My dream in 5 years to purchase a chateau in France!!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much April! You’ll have to pop Over and say hi when you get here 🥰

[@aprillanders8018]

@ I sure will. When I start looking for that chateau I will pop in and visit all of you!! Just maybe I could rent a room and stay a night. Again, great episode!! Love April!!!

[@michaelflick1177]

Plenty of firewood there for winter.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Absolutely 🥰

[@JuSutton]

Glad to hear that the overhanging tree on Paula's cottage has also been cut back - can we see pictures. Trees too near to buildings can cause damage to both top (roof) and bottom (footings). Advice from UK Insurance companies is leave AT LEAST 6 metres between house and planting and more if it is a known large species such as chestnut, sycamore etc.

[@maggiemaloney8599]

There's something wonderful about the autumn, when you get out and tidy up. I've been doing that in my little postage stamp garden...putting down compost and planting bulbs, but nothing like the work you're doing! When spring comes you'll be so thrilled by this work you're doing.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

So true! 🥰🥰

[@normamurray4450]

Looking forward to seeing what Shane has planned for your gorgeous Chateau garden. It looks great now, so seeing more done, will be out of this world!

[@wandakoehorst8734]

Obvious that 40 years of neglect left its trace in excess tree growth. What amazing difference. And yes it will look strange first. But once next spring new leafs will grow the trees will look like they always were like this. No more dangerous trees will ease everybody's mind.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much Wanda! 🥰🥰

[@kennstransky]

Great episode Looking forward to seeing Shane and the new plants.

[@JulieMcCarthy-k5r]

The portion of tree almost lifting Ash and Terry off their feet gives you a visual of how heavy and potentially deadly falling parts of tree can be.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Fantastic job everyone 🥰

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@fionascott4887]

Those large chunks of tree coming down were scary my heart was in my mouth! Brilliant job you have all done the tree surgeon seemed to be totally unafraid which I suppose if you do that job you have to be I'm really looking forward to seeing what the plans for the next phase of the garden are and your continued revival of you beautiful Chateau thank you for including us in this amazing journey

[@rontanser9369]

Yes, I love trees, but they’ve got to be safe so you’ve done the right thing pruning them back and often the tree comes back stronger for it and as you said, you’ve now got some free logs

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Ron 🥰

[@lynlandham3779]

Tree surgeons are heroes!

[@janicedaily6043]

I’m glad to see you one of my favorite gardening tools-a reciprocal saw. Truly a necessity. Would a wood chipper help you with the small branches? It can make nice ground cover and help you from dragging branches around. 😅😊

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Yeah we’re looking into getting one 🥰

[@David-xh6cm]

The tree look beautiful. You are creating a wonderful backdrop to complete all your hard work. When it comes to the flowers, shrubs etc, if you like roses but perhaps you do not want too much yearly ongoing work, I have found the Rugosa Roses to be a very good choice. It is quite a large family of roses actually… some of the rugosas are single flowers, some double. I love the dark red, double flowered ‘Rugosa Roseraie de la Haye’ the scent is wonderful too. An excellent single rose in the same family is Blanc double de Courbet… I fantastic white rose, also heavily scented. The Rugosa Roses grow quite large. They can be chopped around or just left to grow large. Probably the best way is just to leave them to their own devices and just to cut out any dead. If you try them, I think you might enjoy them very much… I certainly love them all ! Mike.

[@mariecolon4212]

You should invest in a wood chipper the chipped wood would make great mulch to use in the gardens

[@mjf3810]

LOVE the aerial views of the chateau and the walled garden! Spectacular!!

[@lisagogal261]

Tree fellers/arborists are amazing! we have had to have two 150' plus tall Doug Firs taken down due to disease. Watching the whole process was incredible. Thankfully we live in Oregon. The timber industry isn't what it was but there are still skilled fellers. Tree removal/ trimming is an art!

[@3_3645]

Oh after watching another chateau, their history has shown that food storage was often in a retaining wall usually having access to the kitchen of the main chateau. If you find a path or road near the tunnels of the retaining walls there's your answer.

[@MargoPerna-y6g]

Absolutely love the music and the property views are dreamy!

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Love the drone shots. What a gift to find a good tree surgeon. Can’t wait to see what’s planted in the garden next. It looks beautiful now. Take care 😍😘

[@ronniemensch2400]

It is good to know someone who is an arborist. We had to remove an Apple and the remainder of a Manitoba Maple tree this fall. The Apple tree was loaded with apples but the apples began dropping early, then we saw the branches were dying one at a time from blight. The Maple we knew needed to come down. Some trees do die back and become dangerous, others do not have very long life spans, then you have others that live for hundreds of years. It takes a lot of interest to grow a channel, you have done very well. It is a shame that Lesa and Ted have to sell Chateau de Montmagner. They have done an amazing job on a tiny budget, but their channel did not take off in the 4 yrs they have worked on the Chateau, as yours has done. Ronnie in Saskatchewan

[@sdole9448]

Isn't it great how easily the weeds pull from the wood chips areas? I can speak from some experience - the thicker the chip layer, the fewer the weeds each year and the easier to pull out the few that get started. We've renewed our chips every 2 years - always untreated of course - and now after the third layer, we can clearly start going a bit longer between applications of new chips. Good luck!

[@eaccristo]

I’m glad you gave it a serious trim. It will fill in again and look spectacular. Lucky you get to use your wood.

[@dyrekvellnagel3011]

Hi Terry, at 12:15 there is a sapling behind the cut branches beside the chestnut; if it is a eucalyptus tree be careful that it is not what we call 😮here in Australia a mankiller. For obvious reasons they look great but can drop an entire branch that looks healthy . Thank for doing what you do ,the whole family and friends are a joy. 🦘🐨❤️D.D.

[@Eugenie-c2q]

Aussie here, we knew them by the slang term of “widow maker”. We had them in our garden too. One of our eucalypt trees dropped a huge branch (almost half the tree) straight down. It took out the top of our fence, the neighbours above ground pool, clothesline, outdoor dining setting and garden shed. Our neighbour called in his firemen mates and all was cleaned up before we got home from work. Our neighbour’s insurance covered everything as the damage was done to their property. They were really happy as they got all brand new replacements. Their previous above ground pool was second hand one so they were thrilled. We had all our other trees assessed ongoingly and then we had the arborist maintain them and take down any that were in decline.

[@joannshupe9333]

So glad only part of that enormous tree had to come down. You certainly can't risk roof damage, especially since winter is coming. Can't wait to see the new plantings!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@lisagauden22]

Wow what a difference a few branches makes!! Keep up the good work guys ❤

[@sandradrees5499]

Love your work ethic! Your tree surgeon has done a great job. Well done everyone!!! xxx

[@jeepgeek7259]

Wow can’t wait to see the garden episodes 😊

[@margielynch7196]

Good job, taking care of those trees!❤❤❤

[@suzyq555]

You should plant hanging flowers from the balconies of the gardens.

[@Marguerite-xy4my]

Fully understand the trees need trimming. Well done. Looking forward to the gardens being done. Take care.

Tracy s cottage looks fantastic now its painted to match the chateau,the other buildings will match as work progresses,the expert tree work safety for you all m

[@kimberlyllamas5804]

The Drone footage from up above is so amazing it's just mind-boggling the transformation that you guys have done on the yards and gardens! Good morning from Lumberton Texas

[@garyshields2734]

You should paint the bear stump wood endings, where the limbs were cut off. It prevents insects and tree rot from setting into the wood stump ending. Speaking of trees, Christmas is on the way. You ought to have Christmas lights out onto one of those. Time to take a break, and have your first real Christmas celebration in your newly rebuilt Chateau.

[@terryandjuliapagnan9423]

Rent a shredder for all the smaller limbs. Use the shredded material as mulch for gardens or under the trees to combat weeds

[@christinehodgson7948]

Whatever became of the peacocks you got from LaLande? They would be magnificent roaming around the Walled Garden!

[@wakahere]

You guys are so amazing and hard working chateau grounds are beautiful ❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much 😀

[@siameseire]

Great Job!! And I think that the tree in the walled garden (?) looks like a Gorgeous Sculpture.

[@jenniestevens1244]

Looking good, trees do need care and maintenance, and it's safe, most importantly

[@johnwilliamtuckey2796]

How wonderful to get tree's done. That one over the cottage must have not been annoying to your mother hitting the roof while she's sleeping. We need to get go night rest. Love you guy's! ❤

Great job guys wishing you a wonderful day from Michigan ❤❤❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you! 🥰🥰

[@jmcaulay577]

I just had to make a comment about something I learned today. There is a castle or really large house in Dorset called Mapperton House. They have a channel and I've been watching so I could learn about the Earl of Sandwich whose house Mapperton is. Anyway you can stay there for a few days if you choose and they have pictures of the guest bedrooms on their site, just follow links. The ceiling in one of the bedrooms is unbelievable. I can't explain it, I'm just begging you to go and look at it as it's magnificent. When I saw it I immediately thought of you all and the fact that you are redoing suites. If you have questions, please ask. I can't wait to see what you think. Thanks!

[@audreydalsace]

merci pour les pistes audio en français

[@pamelahaskell809]

This will make great fire wood for next winter. Just imagine what the gardens will look like next spring. Your walled garden is so neat and clean compared to earlier in the year. Hard work made it beautiful. Of course Tracey comes out to pitch in too.

[@suemccoy7533]

TIMBER !!! Looks good.😊

[@SweetOne.]

Well done, tree management is so important and you have fire wood for the next 3 years or more.

[@kimberlyllamas5804]

That was exciting! I had to laugh when you two were holding onto the huge limbs, they’re HEAVY. I had to have a huge oak tree trimmed and I know how hard it is. Can’t wait to see the planting!🍁🌹

[@carladejonge4951]

Good work guys!❤

[@3_3645]

Tree surgeons must enjoy mountain climbing. Or cliff scaling. They make it look easy.

[@veg-hb3kt]

The age of the Beech and no rot is something! That little chain saw will be due to have the blades sharpened. Ready for the next project. Enjoyed everything about the video, the family together working for a common goal, the faller and his expertise was obvious, and the music was an excellent choice. Crack on!!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@williambrown355]

What a great job James has done. It is a real improvement. The walled garden provides such a perfect setting for the chateau. Really looking forward to the autumn planting.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks William 🥰

[@leneanker9518]

You are doing an amazing job, and I am so glad that you only trim the beautiful tree instead of cutting it down. Have you considered planting a lot of trees against the busy road to minimise the traffic noise?
