As many of you know, we have contracted for tree trimming in front yards and common areas. Our basic landscaping contract, as in prior contracts, includes trimming of trees up to 10 feet from the ground; but full trimming and thinning has become necessary as the trees have aged. This is a one-time contract for the job which requires special equipment. Trimming of backyard trees are optional. As trees vary in size, there are different prices for small, medium, and large trees. Anyone wishing to obtain a quote for backyard trees should submit a work order request to Cass Malloy as soon as possible. Back yard tree trimming is one at the homeowner's expense.

 

One final note on landscaping is that the landscapers have completed an extensive irrigation inspection and are in the process of correcting problems they found.
