<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I agree, their treatment was not good. The
young pin oaks, which did not need to be trimmed at all, took a particular
beating. However, the bradford pear in front of our house was desperately
in need of having its bottom branch removed before it fell off and onto someone,
so grateful to see that one trimmed. I sadly can't imagine that proper
training is high on the budgeted priority list- not an excuse, just a sad
reality. </FONT></DIV>

finishing with that one—and removing major limbs—they went to the next and
