A month or so ago Kaz pulled me out of our back door to look way up at a huge oak next to our house. “See that?” “Yes, I see it. Oh, shit.” We stood pondering what to do about a huge limb that had snapped almost all the way through with die back already becoming visible, No telling when or how it would come crashing down. Kaz worried that sooner or later it would descend destroying everything in its path - maybe even one of us. We knew who to call because weeks before I’d taken a number from the Oracle Post Office bulletin board from a guy who offered local “tree service”. At the time neither of us had heard of Tom Berryman but I gave a call about some tree work we needed done. He turned out to be incredibly skilled not to mention well equipped and dispatched three dead oaks in a day and a half. In the process we learned he and his wife Amber had just moved to Oracle and live in our neighborhood. Kind of amazing!
So responding to our urgent call he arranges to come by after he gets off work in Metro Phoenix, no less. He and Amber show up with ladder, climbing ropes, chain saw, trailer and chipper and go to work. Tom and Amber had that dangerous broken limb cut, lowered, and chipped in a short order. Tom and Amber are building a local business (while he continues to work full time in Metro Phoenix). Another big plus for our neighborhood, town, and the trees we revere.

Thank you Frank and Mary. I look forward to seeing you both next time. We have been welcomed to Oracle by all we meet and have worked with. Really nice to work in our own community. I enjoy reading your blog. Thank you.

Last year, I had Tom and Amber take down 2 big trees growing very close to my house. A very technical job done flawlessly.

AuthorKaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979. The house we bought dated to the late 1940s. With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family. Categories
