Landscaper to pull out trees?
 
does anyone know someone who would be willing to pull out some landscaping for a reasonable rate?? Oleander trees and few small plants such as Mexican petunias??

The day we removed our Oleander was a great day. The thing was always infested with oleander worms. Although the top was beautiful the bottom was spindly. My husband dug ours out of the ground root and all. You can look in the back of the Daily Sun for services who will remove trees. Just be weary to those who want to use a chainsaw and cut it off at the stump and advise you to have the stump ground out. They are just looking to do the easy part and leave you with a pig in a poke. If you plan to plant something in that spot you will need it dug out. Good luck to you.

Are your Mexican petunias the small or tall variety. I might be interested in removing the taller ones for you.
