Hit my 500th mature tree removal last Tuesday and it still felt like the first one
I didn't even realize I was close until I counted back through my old logbooks. 500 trees taken down safely over 18 years, most of them in the Portland area. It surprised me because I never really thought of myself as that experienced, you know? But the one that got the number was a giant dying white oak, and the homeowner thanked us for not hitting their prize rose bushes. That part never gets old. Has anyone else crossed a weird milestone like this that caught you off guard?

Nice work on not squishing the roses!

Something about small stuff like the roses just sticks with you more than the big stats. Feels like life's full of those little wins that matter way more than any number you hit. The way people remember the careful stuff shows a lot about what really counts in the long run.
