• On August 31 Big O Tree and Lawn Service (540-337-4588) removed two large oak trees that were in danger of falling on the street in front of my Wintergreen mountain home. They were joined together and rotten at the base. The three-man crew arrived on time with a surprising amount of equipment. They developed a plan and worked together like a well–oiled machine, completing the job in four hours. They cut up the best sections into 15-17-inch logs to fit my woodstove (the logs still need splitting). Cleanup along the street was done to perfection. The price was $2,350.
