As we approach 2021, which services are most important?
The fall is a critical time to care for your landscape due to hurricane season, late-season pests, and impending winter storm damage. This year, families are spending more time at home, sheltering in place, which means we are spending more time ensuring the safety of our clients landscapes through:
Pruning services: For safety reasons, we keep your trees and homes safe by removing dead or decaying branches on your property.
Hazardous tree removal: Dead or decaying trees can threaten the safety of your family and your home. High winds, storms or other natural elements can cause lose branches to severely damage your property.
Pest management: Late-season pests can cause havoc to your precious greens. Insects that feed, burrow, lay eggs, and more damage trees, shrubs, and outdoor spaces. If not treated properly, substantial damage can occur.
Leaf disease treatment: The best time to treat certain diseases like Oak Wilt is in the fall and winter months. Treatment by an expert Arborist can help save your valuable plantings, preventing costly and unnecessary removal.
