The Sams Tree Job

Miss Sams hired me to trim back two very large and very overgown trees in her yard.  One tree in the side yard had branches that were litterally dragging across the shingles of the roof when the wind would blow and she requested that all lower limbs be removed to bring it well above the roof line of the house.  The larger tree in the front of the house she wanted raised and canopied.  This is basic tree trimming work but I do want to point out
that as I do my work from a bucket lift I am on a stable platform and able to take my time and sculpt the tree to the desired shape.  Many people hire climbers to do tree work and aside from the obvious risks involved, they can not travel out to the tips of the limbs to cut selected brances... they either take the whole limb or they don't... I know I am biased but I believe you get a better result doing it my way.  See the before and after photos below.
