A) On one corner side yard: They pruned a huge Linden tree whose branches overhung both our roof and our neighbor's and also pruned its branches that were above and below but not touching the multiple pole-to-pole wires (NSTAR, Verizon and/or Comcast - we're still not sure as there are so many pole-to-pole wires) over that curb.
B) In the front yard: They pruned the branches then chopped down one large Locust tree and ground (sanded?) the remaining trunk to ground level and did the finish and grounding down of a second Locust (they grow like weeds and threaten our foundation) we'd axed down but couldn't remove ourselves. They cleared everything they'd pruned and in addition removed some branches from a maple tree we'd pruned ourselves in the backyard, but which were too thick and long for the town to collect.
The City of Cambridge will not remove branches around pole-to-pole wires if the tree itself is on private property. NSTAR had sent a crew from Rhode Island in July to do some pruning around their wires going to our house and the house next door, but said they weren't permitted to prune around the pole-to-pole wires along the curb. It seems that Comcast and Verizon won't prune around their pole-to-pole wires until forced by an outage, though Verizon did come to look - so there's still some hope. Cambridge Landscape did the best they could and cleared everything above & below. It's much safer now.
My only complaint would be that there was one dogwood which was also cut which wasn't marked but in all our estimates we received they were surprised we weren't cutting it down as it was old and lopsided due to a limb that had previously been removed and in the winter doesn't look all that nice so I can understand how it was mistaken and we should have explicitly made sure they knew we didn't want it down though it wasn't marked but we didn't so our fault as well.
