I have a dangerous Broad Leaf Maple tree. It’s huge. The trunk is growing on my property but half of the tree is growing onto my neighbor’s property and house. The braches were hanging over an on my neighbor’s roof and deck. It looks like if the tree gets bigger that it may split and crush my neighbor’s house. Oddly none of this bothers my neighbor who says he loves the tree.
A certied arborist convinced my neighbor that it’s important to trim the tree.
I agreed to pay $1000 to the aborist to do what the aborist called “A trim on steroids”. However the workers of the arborist just removed a few dead branches.
I told the worker that this is not my understanding of what I paid for. The tree worker said that he would talk to the boss and likely come back later to finish the job. Never did and my emails and phone calls to the arborist went unanswered.
I just retaliated with a piss-poor Yelp report.
The next time a tree professional touched that tree will be to remove it completely with a written contract up front.
