I JUST NEED A LITTLE TRIM...

 Famous last words in the beauty saloon...This is the smaller of two maples in our yard and it really did need the least amount of work...only $150 worth this year. I'm trying to have shade but not so much, especially since it is the one closest to the veggie garden.

This guy, on the other hand, I had blogged about earlier in the year, needed lots of broken branch and mistletoe removal and some thinning on the east side where it hangs over our house ($750 worth). This is the finished product...we all need a nice new style in the spring!
