Just curious for those FIRE Homeowners whether you tackle trimming your own trees or if you hire that out.
We have three trees in our yard that need periodic trimming - two esp because they are on a fence line with our neighbors and we respect our neighbors space to keep the trees from growing/encroaching too much over the fence into their yards.
But dang - getting a certified arborist ain't cheap.
I've considered that once in FIRE, I'll just do them myself but then worry about the fact I have no idea what I'm doing and pruning them back would result in ruining the trees, falling off ladders, damaging my neighbors yard, etc
Any stories or experiences to share?
