Sandy, It was awesome meeting you and being able to assist with the care of your trees. Hopefully, whenever your ready to do more pruning on your trees, we would be more then glad to take care of that for you. The canopies on a few of your are kinda crowded with dead limbs, and crossing ones. Those trees would be a lot happier and healthier if they werent so crowded. So whenever you would be interested, feel free to give us a call or send us a text. 360 328 1129
