WHEN THE SUN SHINES

This mild month of January has me already dreaming of spring and my to-do list that will need to be addressed soon. As with many things in 2020, our residential trees suffered greatly at the hands of Mother Nature and will reveal stress and damage in the coming spring that may have gone unnoticed.

Let’s do our best to help them heal and grow strong once again

 

HERE ARE OUR BEST TIPS, TRICKS, AND TOOLS TO HELP YOU CHOOSE WHO TO WORK WITH FOR YOUR TREE CARE

AS MUCH AS NECESSARY, AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE

Trees have a remarkable way of managing themselves when they are in their natural environment and this is not always the case for residential tree care.
Trees outgrow their space, encroach on structures, and can pose a threat to homes and families.
These situations need to be addressed and sometimes just managed.
Choose wisely.

TREE SERVICE IS A RISKY BUSINESS.

It is within your right and responsibility to request proof of liability insurance, and we recommend that you do.
Multiple scenarios are possible in a day of tree removal and tree trimming services; it is an impressive art to watch that can be dangerous for the crew and your property. Take the day and enjoy watching them work with confidence, knowing that you will be taken care of if there is any property damage.

WE ARE A PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRY, HIRE A PROFESSIONAL

Do your due diligence, search for and read reviews, visit websites and social media. Do they represent an image of safety and respect for their customers, crew equipment, and homeowners’ property? Observe how you are contacted, responded to, and respected. Your property depends on your opinion of us. Trust the advice of those that have gone before you.

IT IS EASIER TO PREPARE, THAN TO REPAIR

We recommend for homeowners to meet with at least three tree service companies near you. We understand that it takes time and effort, but tree care is not a tree repair situation. You are better equipped to decide with more information than you wanted rather than a lack of professional advice. Cost is always a factor, but cheaper isn’t always better.

YOUR OPINION IS GOLDEN

When you choose your tree care service, do so with the intent that you will keep them as long as you keep your trees. Hiring the same arborist for your tree trimming or tree removal ensures that your tree retains its shape and beauty for years to come. It is nice to trust that a day of tree care in your yard will leave no evidence behind, and you will come home to your property in better condition than when you left.


The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson


Enjoy the season, for it will soon change.
