Good gift idea
Hello,
I am not an arborist. I was taking to a neighbor about our neighborhood and how I wish I knew buying a new build meant no mature trees when I moved in. Turns out they’re an arborist or landscaper, and they used their companies giant truck (not quite a semi but very small) and brought over a tree and planted it for me in my backyard. It’s a maple, probably 8-10 feet tall, and a beautiful red color. I am so incredibly thankful and feel like I owe them. I looked up online about how much this might cost and see over 1,000$ plus for the labor/ tree/ equipment. I cannot afford that right now (with Christmas coming I’ve been buying one gift a week since the beginning of September for budgets sake) but I really want to repay the favor. I’m a lactation consultant but their children are middle school and up, so I can’t repay the favor with my job. What would be a meaningful gift and show how much I am appreciative ? I can swing 200$. I thought about stapling it to the tree before they planted it, but I came home with the cash and it was already done
