Bell’s love of nature! Most girls are screaming at the sight of bugs, Bell is picking them up and studying them. She’s bound to be a scientist. Glad your parents are so supportive Bell.
The musical choice when Doug is filling in the holes 🤣🤣
“I’m bad with measurements” says the guy who builds and rebuilds with crazy precision! 🤣❤️
Call your county extension office, they should know what virus or insect is going around the area.
What Janice said AND consider having a certified arborist review your trees over all of your property to see if they can find issues and make recommendations for the health of the remaining trees.
I agree. They may have an arborist.

Definitely call them. They are free advice and information to residents. Certified arborist and horticultural experts. Usually affiliated with State Universities. They do a lot to help farmers with crop growing issues. Very knowledgeable about local conditions.
What I was gonna say. My cedars all died & it was the county extension office that came out and assessed it. It’s a fungus & no more cedars or it’s relatives until the soil borne fungi die out. Helpful to know what it was and how to plan.
I'm a park ranger in Central Florida and there is a tree disease going around killing off all different types of trees
Yes and this is a natural process of all forests everybody seems to think it's global warming and climate change which is complete bunk we're just noticing it now because we're in the technology age where everybody has a camera everybody knows what's going on with everybody else
Look at you Belle working the big equipment. Go ahead girl!
From the looks of them, they've been dead for quite a while. Good that you're taking care of these now, especially with a hurricane headed to Florida!
Enjoyed seeing Bell learning to drive the excavator. She did great!!
Glad you’re getting this done before the hurricane comes pass this week
Getting rid ofcthe dead and dying trees will help the living ones get more sunshine. Cleans up the property, and gives you a heathy place for your children to play. Congrats on the clean up.
Wow! That little excavator is worth it’s weight in gold. It has so many uses around your property. I love Ashley calling the tree root a molar 😝🤣
And I also love that you guys nurture Belle’s interests that could one day be her career. ❤
Prayers to everyone in Florida with the storm coming.
Of course she was right !! Ashley is a woman of few words, but when she speaks, she knows !!!
Your daughter is such a beautiful soul. Your son is a cutie pie and you guys are awesome parents.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Belle was driving the excavator!
I don't know where you are in Florida but it looks like a bad hurricane coming and I pray for your safety and all those in the path especially those whose circumstances prevent them from leaving.
hey y'all be safe with the hurricane coming through FL y'all are in my thoughts 💖💖💖
You need to get those trees down before the hurricane comes through. You might not like where the storm places them.
Please don’t respond to mean and ignorant trolls. They don’t deserve one second of your time. Doug and Ashley, you are wonderful people, with wonderful children. 😊
Maverick is such an adorable little man. Blessings to you and your family ❤️
I think you both can accomplish anything together! Blessings
you can always replant a few trees in strategic locations for privacy if you want to. That excavator sure has come in handy.
I'm so sorry about the excavator damage☹️
And glad you have the dead trees down!
We have a son in St. Petersburg, Florida, and two granddaughters in Tampa, Florida. We are praying they are safe and praying wherever you are located that you all are not affected as well!🙏🏼❤
I am impressed with all you can do with that excavotor...just a wise purchase !
I’m a bit behind here but we have lost a good number of oak trees. The forestry dept calls it Oak Wilt. It somehow prevents the tree from being able to pull and utilize water. But u could find out through ur local county offices. Always cool seeing Belle working the equipment.
Way to go Belle!! Every gal should know how to manuever an excavator. You nailed it.
Funny how you post a tree cutting video just when we are outside cutting down all the fallen and damaged trees from the two tornados we had in Michigan. We are now able to make it out of our driveway! We have been out of power for 5 days so far!
Thank you for the video distraction! ❤
awesome music to go with the leveling of the soil!
Good job clearing out the dangerous dead trees. Your excavator is a mighty handy tool.
Now is definitely a great time to take down dead trees and I hope y'all have a way to strap down the trampoline. One of those big rare storms is gonna hit this week near y'all. Please be safe, get extra water and shelf stable food. Evacuate if they say to. I hope it doesn't hit near you, please be safe y'all ❤
Lol Ashley "its like a loose tooth"😊
Glad you got the trees down before hurricane season hits. I think one is coming toward you in FL (612) 😮.
I see the hurricane heading toward Florida. I hope you guys keep safe. Keep up the videos! Love y’all!
It is not a hurricane, it is a tropical storm
@@teriguerin8371it WILL be at least a cat 3 by landfall...so yes, a hurricane is expected to hit Florida's Gulf coast!
I am a Floridian. This storm can either strengthen or weaken. I have lived through many storms/hurricanes. I am not one to panic. Always be prepared.@@js35777
Wow, that could have been a big problem if a storm had hit with high winds. Glad you got them taken down safely and Belle has a future bug habitat. I love moss too! I love all of your videos, it doesn’t matter what it’s about. Really enjoy seeing what’s going on with the projects and property. It sounds like we may see pizza oven videos in future?! 😊
Great job on the trees Mr Doug! They call them widow makers because you never know when they are going to fall!!
Doug and Ashley can do anything like a pro
I really like how you do jobs completely. You remove the tree stump, put the tools away, etc.
Your property is looking good, not surprised you always improve every property you’ve been on.
I'd recommend contacting your local office of the UF/IFAS Extension Service. They can give you information about known issues with trees and plants in the area and provide advice for healthier plants moving forward.
With Hurricane Idalia making her way towards you all, start preparing now
Thank you. We'll try to be ready.
Y'all stay safe with storms coming ❤
Way to go Belle!!! Great job on that excavator!!! And as always my husband and I enjoy Maverick salutations!!!
This video was so fun to watch and listen to. Belle, you go girl!
You can have a fire pit and sit around it in cooler evenings, its always nice.
I'm in Gilchrist and we have a storm coming, good thing you took those trees out! Be safe.
I like the natural sounds, but the classical and ballet music to the equipment working is great!
So glad you're able to get those trees down before anything happened. I think that excavator was your best investments. As always thanks for a great video. Blessings to your family.
I hope the storm they are talking about for Florida won't affect you. Stay safe.
That was pretty awesome seeing Belle on the excavator.
She did a great job.
I have absolutely no use for one, but the number of uses you find for your excavator makes me feel everyone should have one! 😂
look at you, Belle!!! (hope i spelled that right) operating that machine like a champ!
I always marvel at the lack of stones and rocks! Hope you are not in the path of this latest hurricane.
Doug’s skill operating that excavator, masterful with the nuances of moving 40’ trees.
The property is so different from when ya'll moved there. It would be neat to see side by side pictures of the before and now. Hugs and love from Mississippi ❤
I would say that mini excavator is a must have for any wooded property, or rural homestead. It sure makes heavy work more manageable. Good purchase decision. And your comments about the stumps being “like a loose tooth” and “a molar tooth” had me rolling around in laughter. 😂🤣 Hilarious Thanks for sharing, your videos are always so enjoyable. Beautiful family that you are ❤❤❤
Hi Doug and Ashley. Thank you for sharing another great video. Great job, Belle, on driving that huge piece of equipment 👍👏 and Mavericks super cute goodbye jump. Please be safe, and God bless your beautiful family always ❤️
I can just see that your daughter is going to be important to the eco system as she grows. It's wonderful. Great job on removing the trees!
Yall stay safe with the storm 🙏
"That's it" you damaged the excavator Doug! From now on Belle is in charge of the excavator!
Those were dangerous! Good thing you dropped them.
You 2 are raising a super cool daughter 🌴🍕🪲
Those trees were going long before you moved there ! Because they were dead to crush so much into dust!😮
It is sad to see trees just cut down. But its also too dangerous to leave up. Noticed the trees didn't just die, they have been rotting for a long time. It actually looks more open and you can always plant more trees you like. Good job using the excavator to remove those trees and cleaning up the property.
Both of you are the best parents. You’re kids are so blessed to have you. ♥️
The waltz playing while Doug filled in the hole made me laugh 😂 nice job on the trees
Ребята ..сухие деревья это всегда ..кот в мешке ..удалить не медленно,не дожидаясь худшего..вы наши герои!
You always do a great job. Yes the music was great.
So glad you got those trees down before the hurricane.
Hate CZcams shows me crap i dont care about but i have your channel as a favorite set to get updates but nothing for this video. Grrr 😢
Hope the storm wasnt to bad.
That dent in your excavator is a battle scar. It’s sort of like a little Medal of Honor for keeping your family safe. ☺️
We've had a lot of ash trees die due to Emerald Ash Bore in mid-Michigan. Since we live in pretty heavily wooded property, about a 1/3 of our trees were ash. We bought an outdoor wood burning boiler and have been using the ash trees to heat out house in the winter since 2015. We have feld many large trees with a chain saw and an ATV with straps, chains and rope to put tension on the trees to fall where we wanted them to. It was fun watching you do what we've been doing for years. My kitten likes to watch your videos. Don't know what the draw is for her. 😻
Good morning from Florida! Not sure if you'll be affected by the hurricane, but better prepare, it's going to be really bad.
I am in new Orleans. Just saw the hurricane is expected to be a 3. Will be praying for you all.
Prayer an fasting can suspend laws of nature an end wars.
GOD BLESS
Is the hurricane coming close to you? Hopefully not.. I’m glad you got the dead trees down in case you do have high winds..
😞 The best thing you have purchased for the land you live on. That little work horse!❤
It’s a really good idea to take down the dead trees. We have 21 acres and that is what we do keeping the dead trees cut. Also use the wood for our heating. 😊
Theres Belle the Quiet one, Jumps on the Excavator no problem!! reverses like a Champ!!. you should shout Timber when tree starts falling, Thanks for the video.
The excavator was one of the smartest purchase you guys made. Have you ever thought of planting bamboo on your property?
noooo it will take over
Good Monday morning!🥰🥰🥰🥰 The Bark Beetle has been killing trees in the local mountains for years.☹
You’re doing a great job… you should be proud of your accomplishments…
Great job, Belle.
Nice job. You never cease to impress me with what you are willing to undertake. Guess you can say you made a big dent in the yardwork today.
Doug you are SOO productive! We in Louisiana and lived through hurricane ida! We lost five huge trees surrounded by my beautiful home and not one fell on my home! We were so thankful!
Here in your old home state of Michigan we are loosing our oaks to oak wilt which is caused by an insect. They die very quickly. First the leaves turn brown than fall and within a year the bark will loosen than fall off.
Ashley, great camera work. Your shots were focused and centered on the work.
The trees could have already been dying when you moved in.
Good job on the felling. You might just need a bigger saw now though eh, the job just got bigger!
loveee the coordinated waltz to the dancing earth flattening ballet. Excellent editing!
That excavator was your best purchase decision!
Great job!! Oh my goodness, I am always so happy to see Belle and Maverick. Beautiful, precious oh and so very smart. Thanks for sharing always.
Doug and Ashley if you have trees that have dead limbs. Please keep the kids from playing under them. Those limbs tend to break off and fall at anytime. There has been kids outside playing and under the trees killed or badly injured from limbs falling on them. I had an old oak tree in my back yard with dead limbs and my aunt came for a visit and we were walking around outside so I told her we couldn't walk under it. It wasn't 5 mins. later that a big limb fell and we could have been killed. Thank goodness we have had it cut down since. It was hallowed out in the center and we had no idea. So all of you be careful. Love to you all!
This is so true I has two little cousins that had just got out of their pool, and a branch fell from the tree they were sitting under, one of them was hit inntbe head & she died instantly, her sister was not touched. Such a sad list of life. It does happen 😢
Good to get those dead trees down in case of heavy storms, one less thing to worry about! Looks good 😊 much love ❤🤗
Man. Doug. That tractor is the best wish I had one. Getting them down is very smart they are a dangerous great job. Thanks from Sc
The flood probably brought something nasty with it. think of all the nasty stuff farmers tend to have in their sheds like strong weedkillers. Also fungus loves spreading via flood waters.
Make sure you all check in as soon as possible after the storm passes so we know you’re ok. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for you all.
OK...Belle's ready to drive! I drove tractors and trucks on the farm when I was 10...switching to a car was not a big deal at all.
I always love your music choices, Ashley!!! Today was Waltz of the Flowers. It was perfect while Doug was backfilling the dirt. Belle and Maverick were both awesome getting the trampoline repositioned!!! Great job everybody!!! I wanna get me an excavator now. I'd have it totalled in one day, but I'd have a blast. LOL I love this channel!!!!
Bye Maverick,great job Belle driving that machine👍
I am impressed with Bell's excavator skills.
Hope you can do a little prep pre storm. Be safe. Holding you and your family and community in prayer.
Bell did great on running that machine, ❤ she's a natural...keep it up Ms. Bell...
Great job guys! I’m wondering if you will plant any new trees? We have the Royal Poinciana trees which are so beautiful but I don’t think will grow in your part of Florida. Also, I’m glad you took them down because I see a hurricane out there and that would have taken them down for you 😬
You made it look easy Doug. 😂 I have been watching you for years and always enjoy your content. ❤
I’m sorry about the dent in your excavator. I always feel sad when I damage something of mine that I feel is still fairly new. It’s sad about your trees dying too but good job on taking them down so quickly. They are much safer now. 😊
You might be able to test your theory about the flooding soon.(good luck).
We’ve had a few pines to die over the winter to deal with,plus mimosas trees! Man, them things won’t die!
Doug you just added character to your excavator.
Y’all have a great week and stay safe.
Bye Maverick 👋🏼
Thanks. Yeah I hope I didn't speak too soon and the storm passes through without too much trouble.
