Deal is this tree was majorly topped way back several years ago, now he thinks it looks this good years later, have someone do it again...

I told him everytime he does it, it just hurts the tree causing weak and decayed branches...
Not sure he "gets it"..

I thought that it had by the way the branches are so vertical, that close to the house it's no wonder.

I agree with Treemandan, if you don't want to dismember it just price it out, he'll get someone cheaper to do it. Unless he want's it butchered right.

And As a GC gutter helmets is EVIL. You want a new product called Gutter Rx. Installed exclusively to the gutter. NO roof penetrations, the true cause of eave and soffit damage. Great service for woodsmen and landscapers and contractors alike to provide to customers.

You'd better get a move on or you'll miss the school bus.

Personal I would rather walk away from the job. The customer will find someone to hack the tree but I wouldn't want my name on it.

Well, a yr later now, he finally had somebody do it anyway. Even after I gave him a "who not top trees" handout from ISA. (B4 photo in opening post...)

Well I dont know if I would call that topping... borderline pollarding maybe. But either way its over pruning and it looks horrible. I would also think its really the wrong time of the year for such a drastic reduction.

I've seen a lot of them done that way around here, sad thing is, that's better than most that I see.

All that tree needed was the canopy raised and thinned, and the down growing limbs removed. Some tree services seem to think that cutting the tree into a nice shape is good for it, but I'll bet most of the trees done that way will be in bad shape in a few years.
