I don't write many yelp reviews, but this is real. For years I listened to Norm Schilling on KNPR public radio talking about the correct way to trim trees in Las Vegas. A few years ago I had the "lawn guy" trim our 50+ yr old Mulberry and that was a mistake.
This time I called Norm Schilling, a real ARBORIST who knows trees inside and out. He came and looked at all my trees (The Mulberry, plus a Meyer Lemon, Orange, Almond, Pomegranate, and Desert Willow). He took notes on each tree and gave me an estimate that was reasonable for the work that was going to be done. Don't get me wrong, the estimate at first gave me a little sticker shock; but the results speak for themselves. His crew did yeoman-like work and kept me informed of everything they were doing. There was absolutely no debris when they finished, as they cleaned up completely. The result was stunning. Even though they removed 30-35% from the Mulberry, it was shaped so perfectly that you'd say it still looked as full as it did before they started.
I can't give these guys enough praise for the work they did.
