Mr. Jack's crew were the bomb! They showed up on time and had a couple of decades of overgrowth cleaned out in 4 hours. We had trees that had grown perilously heavy and long over the roof and back fence & the neighbors' trees that were hanging over the fence and onto our yard. Yes we could trim the pieces but then the suckers grow back from main branch. I wanted them to look pretty with higher canopies, not the ugly lateral cuts that end up making branches look like crooked houses.
Jack Allen advised us on proper time to prune (fall) and how much to prune (never more than 20% so they tree can heal during fall and winter dormancy- and when I told him what I wanted to cut he advised me on what to prune and what to leave (no pun intended) until next time (2-3 years). They cleaned everything up- what fell in our yard and what fell in our neighbors yard. I'm only sorry I forgot to take before pictures. The fence line was pretty much covered in branches from my neighbor's trees- you couldn't cut them from their side. We raised the canopy on those about 15 ft., cleaning off everything on top of the fence and my scrawny crepe myrtles which hadn't gotten sun in a while.
The larger tree had three big branches that were extended way over the roof and one out to center of back yard. Heavy rains and hard winds made them all very dangerous, especially when waterlogged. We also had a branch that broke during a hurricane but was caught by other branches. We were waiting on that to fall at an in opportune moment. I love how everything turned out- just like I imagined. Now the trees have room for healthy growth and my grass will be able to catch some sun.
My only suggestion -and by no means does it detract from the job they did- I wish they offered tree painting and filling service as well l. So the cuts could be protected from the get go. A lot of people don't do that after pruning/trimming, to the detriment of the trees and it makes them more susceptible to water damage & even rot. You can buy tree paint at almost any hardware store- the foam filler -not available at any brick & mortar in town. I'm having to order online (hence my suggestion to offer this service). BRW, never EVER use cement to fill a tree. The lime and risotto of material are a sure fire way to kill it.
I highly recommend A2Z- thank you, Jack, Jed, Calvin, et al- very friendly, professional & efficient & I know I am hard to please! You guys get from us. read more
