“THANK YOU” for removing the dead tree in the HOCO common area of our street. Looks so much better! And you were so prompt in doing so. Incredible!!

It’s not that you can’t please everyone, but what I don’t understand is why the 12” tree stump wasn’t ground down and leveled to the rest of the grass. Now there’s a big mound of stump and mulch that can’t be mowed over with lawn equipment.

And theirs hundreds of twigs and debris from the removal that wasn’t raked and cleaned up after your work. The street also showed proof you were here. I guess the street cleaners will take care of that.

But I do COMMEND you for your prompt attention to our community request.

Thank you!
