Today I had my for palm trees trimmed it is a yearly chore. They get loaded with beries and dried fronds. He does come every year at the same time.
When they were smaller we were able to trim them ourselves but in eightteen years do not want to risk Dh getting hurt.
I offered him cash and he took forty dollars off the bill. While he was here the man next door had a big tree taken down by his driveway. I am sure he got a good deal too since he has been turning everyone away that has approached him.
