North Shore Dr. South Bend, IN 46617 D90 � Thank you for choosing Arborcare for a professional evaluation of your trees. Our company is dedicated to the preservation of trees in regard to their health and beauty as they add value to the landscape in general and to a home in particular. The following recommendations are based on my 20+ years of experience and continued training as a Certified Arborist. I look forward to partnering with you in the care and health of your trees. ESTIMATED COSTS OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED 1. Neighbor's river birch out front need lightly limbed for clearance over sidewalk, not taking any branches off the main trunks, just elevating for several feet for cleaner appearance and safety over sidewalk = $70.00 2. As you go up the sidewalk, the first tree in front of the home is a very overgrown yew. This could probably be made into an ornamental tree. We need to get about a 6' clearance over the walkway for safety; limb it up lightly all around so it looks somewhat even; lightly thin; deadwood removal (1/2" and larger); remove stubs from past poor quality pruning= $170.00 3. Between the yew and the SE corner of home is a large low -growing yew that needs lightly pruned back so it is more within its boundaries; remove stubs from past poor quality pruning; prune for 6" clearance off home = $70.00 4. Going across front and just west of the tall yew are six to seven G to 8' junipers which are at maturity and starting to decline health wise. There are numerous splits where they have grown too large to hold themselves together, there is also quite a bit of pest damage and disease where you can see the bark has come off on the lower trunks, the westernmost one is dead. They should be removed, cutting them low so you can replant = $240.00 5. Large yew at the west end of the junipers as it has quite a bit of vine growing through it and as a result, the crown is pretty haphazard and it is growing into the Japanese maple which is a nicer tree. It should be removed, cutting stump low = $120.00 5a. OPTION: If you want us to clean it up by removing deadwood (1/2" and larger); remove stubs from past poor quality pruning; lightly prune for shape; remove vines = $140.00 een above yew and the SW corner of home is a large arborvitae tree that needs lightly compacted; prune for 1' Iftinimum clearance off home and roof; deadwood removal (1/2" and larger) throughout; remove mulberry starts growing at base = $140.00 Note: The mulberry starts may come back 6a. Semi-annual (every fall and spring) deep -root fertilization = $76.00 per treatment
