These past few weeks we’ve been enjoying the leaves falling out of our poplar trees, and I’m impressed once again with the nice job you and your crew did pruning them in September.

These are large trees, over 30 years old, and I had never had them pruned, partly because I was always worried somebody would butcher them back into stubby branches, the way a lot of the City trees are done. In fact, I was a bit worried about what I would find when I came home on pruning day.

I was please and impressed. You did as promised. All the dead and sick wood was gone. The healthy branches had all been left as is, but you removed enough of them to lighten the trees, while maintaining their nice natural shape.

A casual observer would never know the trees had been pruned, yet we could see the difference in appearance. A positive difference, since all the dead wood and darkness was becoming a bit oppressive.

Anyways, now that the leaves are gone, the trees still look great, and we continue to enjoy them. We also appreciated your advice about adding a cable to prevent the trunk splitting, and your comments on how to prune accessibly branches in a way that is healthy for the trees.

Thank you. Best wishes for a continued successful business.
