Overgrown tree limbs get haircut

In early March, we returned to a repeat customer’s house to trim her overgrown tree limbs. The purpose of the job was threefold:

First, the property was on a corner lot that backed against a main thoroughfare and a neighborhood street. As one might expect for a bustling street, the main thoroughfare was equipped with sidewalks. However, overgrown limbs can obstruct safe passage for pedestrians.
Second, the overgrown limbs were blocking access to sunlight that prevented the homeowners from having a thriving backyard lawn.
Upon arriving at the customer’s residence, we positioned a ladder against the roof and observed that the encroaching tree limbs threatened the integrity of the roof’s shingles.

There are many reasons to prune trees. We have described some of the other reasons for pruning trees in an article on our web site.

Overgrown tree limbs not removed until site inspection

Upon arriving at the scene, the crew performed a walkabout of the property as their first action. They searched for any patio furniture or potted plants that required relocation before commencing the job. The crew then inspected the tree to ensure it was safe for climbing. Additionally, they ensured that any pets were properly secured away from the work area. Crew leader Lucas Rumancik discussed the project’s plans with the crew, emphasizing safety for both the crew and property, as well as meeting the owner’s objectives. The next task involved removing overgrown tree limbs, which were chipped into small pieces and transported to a recycling center by our crew.

Satisfied customer experience

This is what Victoria said after her overgrown tree limbs were gone:

I’ve been using this company for years and they never disappoint. Very fair price, when they say half day they REALLY get the work done! Would highly recommend and hope to continued to use them for years to come. Thanks for the great job!”
