Freequently Asked Questions
Why is it necessary for a tree company to have insurance?
Tree felling is dangerous and should only be done by a professional. Liability insurance is important because it protects you, the homeowner, and your property from potential risk and damage.
Why should I prune my trees?
Broken or dead branches can be dangerous if they fall.  Pruning can help make a tree look better or provide you with a better view of your property.
The bark of a tree is falling off. What does it mean?
It can be several things. Some varieties of trees shed bark naturally. It may also be a fungus or bacteria attacking the tree. It may also be caused by cold or heat damage.
When should you cut down a tree on your property?
Get an expert’s opinion, confirm it needs to be removed and take the next step as soon as possible. An unstable tree that could fall puts your house and safety at risk.
Why won’t my grass grow?
Grass needs ample sunlight, good soil and adequate water to thrive.
