The Tree Trimmers

This two-man tree trimming crew is ready to tackle all of your topiary needs! With a truck full of tools, including hedge-trimmers, leaf blower, and ladder. Their truck has a working steering system, and is a heavy duty vehicle with enough space to store all the gear. The truck has a hinged back and sides to expand holding capacity, and a cab that fits both mini-figs. The courtyard has a lawn chair, patio, and plenty of little hidden critters.

I was inspired to make this build from my time working for a landscaping company. I liked the look of the big back-pack leaf blowers and other equipment. I also like finding new ways to make foliage with lego, so I end up making a lot of garden and outside MOCs. I know we've gotten a couple forestry sets with the Lego Tree Tractor and the lumberjack, so I wanted to make something that could join these sets to do other landscaping functions, with new equipment.

I think this would make a good set because of its versatility alongside pre-existing Lego City sets and neighborhoods. The crew can be set up anywhere, the truck is fully functional and sturdy for play, and the courtyard can be attached to existing park set-ups or outside of buildings.
