Hopefully, the contractor will come and remove the landscaping soon. Since I'm pushing the mower, I'd rather not cut around all that junk.
I had a guy come in to do a single (large) limb which was hanging precariously just inches from my roof for years. He wanted $2,400. When I protested he magnanimously dropped it to $2,000. I mean, c'mon now, how much would you want for the whole tree, $10,000?

So I dropped him and went with a guy charging just $800. Fine, quality work.
