Hi neighbors,

I'm an arborist, (tree worker) and yesterday one of the Oak trees on my drive dropped a branch knocking out the phone lines. I was able to resolve this quite quickly, but it made me think..

After these winds I'd just like my neighbors to take a moment to look at your trees and check for 1. Dead branches 2. Cracked or broken branches 3. Splits or scars at the base of branches.
There's an old saying "A stitch in time saves nine"

If you see something that needs making safe, I'll look after you. Just give me a call... Simon 021 183 6037 and I'll pop round and fix it for you.

Take care and stay safe
