How to Spot Problems with Your Tree
Sick trees can be dangerous for you and your house. They can fall and cause injury to people or damage to property. If they hit utility lines they can cause power outages, surges, or fires. It is your responsibility to provide for the safety of the trees on your property. Even though most trees are valuable assets for our yards, some need to be pruned or removed for safety reasons.
