Spring is a busy time for planning and reinvigorating your landscape. Clean up all leftover leaves and trash that have accumulated in your yard over the winter months. Cleaning up yard debris removes hiding places for bugs that can attack your plants and trees. Remember to add the leaves and other organic debris to your compost pile.

The weight of a storm damaged tree is great, and often homeowners underestimate what an undertaking it is to remove a fallen tree or even just broken limbs. An arborist can assist in performing the job in a safe manner, while reducing further risk to your home.

Wait until spring or summer to determine if your tree branches are going to cause damage to the roof of your home. The weight of the leaves plays a role in how low the branches hang.

Is the heat island effect – hotter temperature in big cities because of more sidewalks, streets and buildings – really that big of a deal? According to the EPA, the mean, annual temperature in a city with 1 million or more people can be as much as 5 degrees warmer than smaller communities with more trees and green space.

It’s important to remember that having your trees trimmed can actually help to improve their health. Not only will you be increasing the amount of sun exposure your tree gets, but you may also be able to stop the spread of harmful fungi.
