Good morning Daniel,
I reviewed the trees in the field and found the report on the Cedar trees is accurate in stating the trees are in
good health, with fair structure.
PG&E has done some pruning and more maybe needed. It appears, (I am not a Utility Forester) that the trees
would be fine with a judicious light pruning around the Utilities by a qualified tree service company. Overall I
didn't note any significantly compromising pruning cuts to clear utilities.
The concern about the tree out growing the the planting area has some merit. However, no infrastructure
impact was noted. I expect the trees to continue to thrive within their current growing space.
Report doesn't state why they wish to root prune. A small amount of root pruning could be accomplished to
reduce roots heading towards the homes foundation, if needed.
I didn't focus on any of the other trees in the report, do you want me to review them also?
In summary, the trees appear healthy, with fair structure, needing only a light expert pruning to clear utilities
and look for hazards.
Feel free to give me a call or I can stop by...
Best,
Bob

Hi Bob – How does this report read to you? I don’t quite buy the conclusions. The trees don’t look bad to me.
Thanks!
