REMOVE ONE DEAD 6" MAPLE WITHIN 90 DAYS. ADD TO THE REPLACEMENT LIST. MULCH VOLCANO PROBABLY CONTRIBUTED TO IT'S DEMISE!

I beg to differ what contributed to the demise of the tree. The tree has struggled for 20 years when a male deer rubbed up against it to leave its scent. In fact we have lost multiple trees and bushes in our back yard either from the deer eating them or leaving their scent in the fall through out the years. I have had different landscapers and tree companies help me to keep this tree going through the years. On any given day I have 2 to 12 deer in my yard. I agree the new group I had mulch this spring did not do the mulching properly. I had Bartlett Tree Services out here concerning the issues and they said the same thing. However what really brought the tree down was last year Howard County came along in mid-summer in the hottest part of the year and trimmed the trees. My neighbor Nina Kryzsko called the county to say how all the trees looked bad on Chews Vineyard after they came through. They told her to give it through the next season and they would comeback. The County was right for most the trees but mine has struggled for years and trim it back as much as they did in the heat of the summer was too much for my tree. I acknowledge the mulching was not done properly this year but that did not kill our tree!!! Trimming our tree way back in mid-summer on struggling tree in the heat did the tree in. Please ask my neighbors!!!
