Pittsburgh's 18ricco

At one time I used to do landscaping for a living and worked out of state. I was going somewhere local so I was walking there n came across these guys citing down this tree and was pretty high in the sky closed in by power wires and houses.  Of course you know I had my cameras on me lol.  So I took some photos.

These guys were from Advanced Tree Solutions so if you need some work done check these guys out n tell them u seen the video here.  Advanced Tree Solutions 412-389-2920 IG @shannonbeneviat
