Thanks for the Tree Trimming Article, James! I am very interested in having the tree in front of my house trimmed. Can you let me know if you happened to notice the company name on the trucks that were trimming the trees on the 1900 block of East Moyamensing Ave. last week? I live on the 1800 block of East Moyamensing Ave. Thanks again for this article and also all of your previous blogs, I always read them. You are a great addition to Pennsport and a fresh breath of air too!!! Pennsport!!!
