The estimate by Boutte does not include tree trimming around the entire property, as I read it but rather a few specific trees. I know there was a walk through, so perhaps this was discussed, but what about the redbud directly opposite 400 and 402? Were the two cherry trees discussed (one in front of 412, and one in front of 400)? All the crepe myrtles on the property (including those at the creek bed?)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large">2. I am myself confused about the issue of homeowner and HOA costs when it comes to trees. I think the longstanding custom has been to use HOA monies for any tree removal or major maintenance/pruning. As I read the bylaws this is somewhat of a gray area, given the proximity of trees to some people's properties. When does a homeowner pay and when does the HOA pay? (It seems quite clear in some cases, but less clear in others, which may be why I continue to be confused). For instance, we paid for removal of a tree/planting of a different tree in our front area.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large">3. The last I heard, when a tree is removed, another must be planted, using Decatur's approved species list. I've no doubt that Boutte is on their game about this, as they work closely with the city arborist. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large">The last time that Boutte was out they were confident that the three oaks that line the main driveway were solid and mentioned nothing about fungicide treatments needed after such testing. I do like this company and think it would be good to be consistent with one tree company so that we can refer to past work/contracts and future needs. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large">Rosamond</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jan 27, 2026 at 12:02 PM Kathleen M.

so you can point out your concerns? I work from home and can probably join in on a walk around the property depending on whether or not I have a meeting at the same time, but I think it's important you're available, given my experience with working with the
vendors a couple of years ago. </b></p>

<b>Subject: </b>Boutte Tree assessment, estimate</span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi there, </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Boutte Tree came out on Friday and provided the attached estimate based on his assessment- walking around Chelsea place. Maryanne, there was a tree limb by your house not on our radar that he had concerns about.
Ron met with him and can fill you in tomorrow if you have time. The 2 K-ish estimate is for the 3 giant oaks by us. What do you all think is the next step? Do we need to have 2 of the companies who provided previous estimates (Maryanne, whoever you recall
was best/ most competitive)?come out?</span></p>
