Before and After

I posted last month about overgrown trees on my property. I had a tree service in and here the before and after photos. Cost $1200. Lighting may play a part since the left was taken in the afternoon; the right very early morning, also many are on the neighbors property and the tree service wouldn't touch those.

Wow. I can't tell from the photos, but that doesn't look like $1200 to me.

It looks like they cleaned up after themselves.

Too bad your neighbor didn't have them do a little trimming on his side while the tree service was available.

They cleaned up most, but left quite a few small branches and twigs along the property line. I also noticed some twigs on the roof. Probably didn't even notice them because of the other trees. Next door is rental property and the owner isn't always there - he probably was out working on Friday.

Looks good. All those branches sticking out onto the lawn are gone.

Is your house to the left or the right in these photos?

 

[debodun]

Left. The white building between the tress is the neighbors garage and his pile of junk behind it.

Looks good. It got thinned out but there is still plenty of shade and leafy branches. Are you happy with the results?

The backyard - yes. The large maple in the front they didn't trim back very much - it looks almost the same. When I asked the boss about it he said they they couldn't get the cherry picker in the front because it wouldn't fit between the house and stockade fence from the rear and the curb was too high in the front. They got what they could reach from a 10 foot step ladder and pruning shears; virtually just the bottom hanging twigs. This is the front yard maple - still looks top-heavy and it's on a slope, too.
