Wooded areas are a natural beauty that can soften any landscape and delight the senses. Beyond their visual splendor, trees enhance their surroundings by reducing noise, providing shade and trapping pollutants from the air.
Without proper care, however, trees lose their benefits and may even become liabilities that threaten property damage or injury.
About Trees
- Trees are the largest and hardest part of the landscape to replace.
- Most landscapes are designed around trees. Plants are chosen by the amount of shade and therefore removing a tree impacts the surrounding shrubs and plants.
- Removing a tree does not need to cause damage to existing landscape or structures.
- Find an Arborist that cares about your entire property and not just your trees. A good arborist will offer a wide range of services that spans the life or your trees and shrubs (pruning, fertilizing, cabling/bracing, lightning protection, pest control, etc.).
- Is he/she ISA certified?
