In years gone by I have written a little column at this time of the year encouraging folks to trim their trees because it so enhances their property. I live in the old part of Loveland and we have absolutely beautiful street trees. They have been trimmed professionally over the years and now stand proudly spreading their branches over the streets and their lawn.
In the last few years, the trimming hasn't been done. The trees began to look more like a bush than the tree they were meant to be. I didn't like to see that happening. Loveland Colorado has always shown a lot of pride of ownership and that is key to home values.
The GOOD NEWS is that during this past week that big orange tree trimming truck with the extending bucket has been in my neighborhood at no less than 5 different homes. They are shaping and trimming to beat the band. Could it be that for the last few years folks have thought of this task as non-essential and just put it on hold. Maybe families are feeling a little more financially confident.
What a pleasing thought!
