dam mb that's gotta be tough tellin that one goodbye. Still waitin to have that little chat eh? I told one goodbye with no qualms; red maple rotted on 3 sides and leaning over a little old lady's house. Owned by a landlord who refused to do anything about it so my report will be attached to a certified letter and copied to town officials and town police.
That MAY move him; same guy let his septic field overflow and the lady got hepatitis cuz her well was full of coliform. Slumlords should
in hades.
A tupelo was bent heavy over the maple, toward the house. had no other defects so I recommended reducing it the way the guys in this neighborhood work, it'll probly get whacked in half. Spike marks in every big white oak.
Anyway an interesting consult, referred by Bartlett. I'll take pics when it's not raining.

. He looked at me with this funny grin on his face and said that he liked my work ethic. I asked him what he meant? He said that he had called four other company's but only one guy came out to have a look. This guy said he would T/D the tree by climbing free hand and going on & on about the time, risk, and overhead etc to justify his price. The home owner didn't feel comfortable with this guy and eventually called me.I had the tree down with in an hour and never left the ground. The home owner and I had a lot of fun with the tree joking back and forth, the $100 was just a bonus. He then asked me to give him a price on four tree in his back yard for removal. He stated that he was going to be selling his home later this summer and wanted the back yard to look nice. He thought his trees were dead cuz some of the lower & mid branches were dead and falling to the ground when its windy. I told him his trees are not dead but just maturing. Its branches that are dead and brittle are not getting any sunlight because the canopy is filling out preventing sun from getting to its mid section. (no light...no life)! I suggested that all it needed is some dead limbing & maintenance. Because he was going to be selling the house, I told him that if he removed the 4 trees, it would leave the remaining trees looking like crap with big holes and bare spots in them. Lastly I told him that a home with mature trees on its property would increase its VALUE !!! So guess who got the job! His neighbor, who was listening to our conversation, asked me over to do some work on some trees in his back yard and to T/D his blue spruce that was growing way to close to his house. So ya, that will keep me busy this coming weekend!
