"BEFORE"

x

x

As you can see, branches are begining
to grow through the backnet
... especially the new top section

During this off-season, mesh is going
to be hung in this area so the tree
needed to have a haircut !!

****************************************************************************

The work was carried out by ... Zen Arbor Tree Care Services

****************************************************************************

STOP !! ...... there is a Bird's Nest in the Tree !!

One of the contractors climbed on the roof and hand trimmed around the nest,
leaving the main branch untouched ... and there is more information below

****************************************************************************

"AFTER"

The photo above shows that the tree branches are now well away from the backnet

BUT ... what is all that stuff in the gutter ??

Below you can see what was pulled out ...

... and here is the finished look

"HONEY"

See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it was just a twig		 Sharon planted this tree way back in the late 1980's
and as the song says, it was just a twig

In fact, it was so small, we put four stakes around it
so the kids wouldn't break it when playing on the mound

Told the story to the contractors
and they thought Sharon might like this shot !!
