Our World - Tree trimming


Our neighborhood has tree-lined streets and at least one tree in the back yard. Vince and his crew were at a neighbor's last week clearing out some dead branches and limbs that might damage the roof. The power pole saws allow a lot of high cutting from the ground.

The small branches get chipped and used later for mulch.
 
 
But how do you get a large limb down that overhangs the roof? very carefully, in pieces. Vince climed the tree to get a rope on the limb. The the man on the roof cut a section and the third man lowered it to the ground. Vince does our trees every 4 or 5 years and will be back this spring again.

Good thing the tree trimmers know what they're doing.

I would be a nervous wreck, watching the tree trimmers. I have seen a lot of trimming being done by BGE lately. Have a happy day and week ahead, Lew!
