Letter to the editor

When I made contact with Shane — Shane Blakely, the owner of Blakely Tree Service — it was the second time in two years of my needing his help.

But before I inform you as to what I have to say, I must enlighten you, the reader of this man and I’s relationship within the knowing of each other, and also my own ability of getting a job done.

Okay, Shane is a very good life-long friend of mine. And I, can oh so much get by, within my own rely. That said, I am a man willing to admit a need for help! And in this case, in comes Shane and his crew. The reason? On 10 acres filled with well-over 300 neatly-trimmed trees, an outsource is sometimes needed for the out of my reach.

Both times now, Shane and his crew have shown up right on time, did the job promised, and upon completion left no evidence of their presence except for what they had promised to achieve. All while practicing safety and professionalism to the nines.

There is no doubt that this letter would not have been written had they not proven to me, from my own witness, of the outstanding satisfy of this customer and his request.

Friend or not, if Blakely Tree Service had only done the job to get it done then so would be my pen laying on a blank piece of paper. With nothing said.

Thank you.
