How Often Should Trees Be Pruned?

The phrase, ‘early and often’, is one that we have all heard and it can be applied to many things. It turns out that it can and should be applied to pruning your trees. As homeowners my wife and I knew when we purchased our home that regular maintenance would be necessary to help reduce the chance of larger issues developing over time. For example, we must periodically paint our wood trim to keep the wood from being exposed to moisture, thus reducing costly maintenance or replacement needs in the future.Continue Reading

Healthy Roots = Healthy Tree

There is a slightly new perspective floating around these days in the tree industry. One that may flip you upside down on your head, pun intended. It’s easy to admire the beauty of trees above ground as they display a range of attractive characteristics throughout the seasons; some genetic, some controlled. Since we are generally only privileged to see this above ground portion of the tree, we sometimes lose perspective and consider it the sole living portion of the tree. However, the half of the tree that is below ground (the roots), is the actual brain of the tree. It is a complex web of rooting networks that thrives underground.Continue Reading
