The problem
Hedges or smaller ornamental trees are overgrown around a practical residential work area.
A tidier agreed shape or clearance where height, plant condition, access, and safety fit the service.
One-time or recurring, subject to route fit

Access and safety

- Do not request work near electrical lines or on unstable, storm-damaged, or large trees.
- Sal confirms the height and access boundary before accepting the work.
After you text
Sal reviews it directly.
Sal reviews the height, growth, access, nearby hazards, and requested finish before confirming whether the work fits this service.
TEXT YOUR ADDRESS + PHOTOTrust, scope, and documentationDoes small-tree pruning include large or dangerous trees?
No. Large trees, climbing, rigging, storm damage, work near electrical lines, and arborist assessment are outside the stated service. Send full-height photos so Sal can identify the boundary.
Is collection or disposal included?
Do not assume it is included. The material, volume, local disposal requirements, and requested handling need to be discussed as part of the scope.
What should I send for an estimate?
Send the address, choose the closest service, add your timing, and attach one wide photo showing the full work area plus one close-up showing the problem. Add an access photo when a gate, slope, stairs, parking, or machine route matters.
How should I prepare the property?
Move vehicles and loose objects from the agreed work area, secure pets, identify gates and hazards, and tell Sal about utilities, irrigation, wires, rocks, stumps, drains, or delicate surfaces that may not be obvious in photos.
