Todays storms took down 13 trees in the cemetery. Really sad because our trees are so big and so old. They add so much character to our beautiful cemetery. Our backhoe broke down over a year ago and our new one is due to arrive in 9 days. We could clean up almost all of this ourselves once we have the right equipment again. I said all of that to say this, MBI Tree Service is absolutely amazing. 2 times during Memorial Day week I had trees fall this year that were much too big to handle with the equipment we have right now. Both times they got a crew here within a couple hours and took care of us. Tonight was no different. I called and asked them to put us on the schedule and within an hour Luis, the owner, was here looking at the damage. Luis’ family own gravesites here, and I am so humbled by the way they treat our cemetery like we are their number 1 customer. One of the trees that came down tonight was hung up on another tree and was creating a dangerous situation, also in the same spot another tree was blocking our main entrance, MBI showed up in force, like they always do, and got the street opened up, and dropped the other treat to prevent anyone from getting hurt. MBI is a Waynesville company, who’s owners live here in the township. If you are a grave owner or have a loved one buried here and you see these guys around town, be sure to let them know that you appreciate the way they have helped us keep our cemetery clean! Especially the last couple of months!!!
