Trimmed one foot below the ground?? Don't get it.

One another note, I have seen many trees with mulch built up way too high on the trunk. Mulch or stone should not go above root line. Area where root ball transitions to the bark on the trunk. trapping moisture around trunk brings disease and bugs. Not good!
