A Big Thank You to Perfect Places .
Perfect Places planted some trees on Westminster for us last fall. We lost a couple during the year. The dead trees were cut down and the owner of Perfect Places said he would replace the lost trees at no cost to us. I am delighted to report that last month Perfect Places completed the effort without us even having to place a call. They removed the old trees and replaced them with new trees that seem even larger than the ones originally planted. It is rare when a firm meets all expectations of a job. Danny Townsend and his team at Perfect Places
exceeded all of our expectations.
