Topping or trimming a tree properly is another matter entirely. Most of the tree trimming services I've seen working or had personal contact with have no clue how to trim a tree. Someone on my commute route just had their trees trimmed and they're basically bare trunks with the odd denuded limb here and there. Bet they paid handsomely for the butchery too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-65036448830923718962017-06-03T21:21:04.581-05:002017-06-03T21:21:04.581-05:00"Here's your sign.""Here's your sign."LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-67366990091027337652017-06-03T17:13:08.355-05:002017-06-03T17:13:08.355-05:00Leatherneck:

However, the results showed that they were lacking in knowledge of how to do a good job. The trees were unbalanced and funny looking, and the topper was the unintended but foreseeable damage done to a large fig tree. <br />A very long, heavy branch of the evergreen next to it had grown through the middle of the fig. They cut it at the trunk, dropping it on the fig, and then dragged it out of the fig before cutting it up. Several days later, a limb that constituted 1/3 of the fig, broke off. This is what took the brunt of the dropped evergreen branch. The homeowner couldn't even get them to return and remove the fallen section. Both trees are near fifty feet tall.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-46142198590322141542017-06-03T16:13:02.170-05:002017-06-03T16:13:02.170-05:00You get what you pay for.You get what you pay for.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-69363657970834828762017-06-03T13:06:10.301-05:002017-06-03T13:06:10.301-05:00Wow...
