One of the best ways to maximize your overall investment in your landscape is to care for your trees when they are young. Developing a plan with an arborist when the trees are small can tremendously improve the health and longevity of the trees over their lifespan. This foresight can prevent unnecessary and costly removals and help future growth.

In the forest, trees exist and flourish without any human intervention or controls. Dead limbs fall off eventually, views are not obstructed so limbs are not selectively removed and poor branch structure is not a concern for nature. However, in the urban environment our structures, playscapes and lawns impact our trees and our trees impact them.

Your trees offer more than just shade. Caring for your living investment is essential to ensuring the aesthetic of your property, maintaining the value of your landscape, and protecting our urban canopy. Caring for your trees is your responsibility, but caring for our urban canopy is a community-wide obligation or duty.

Now more than ever before, the health of our trees in our urban environment is a priority. Our mental and social health need these safer outdoor spaces to exist and responsibly gather in. Whether this means planting trees to create an environment that encourages people to visit, or by taking care of your existing space so that it is safe and healthy, we are here to contribute to your outdoor sanctuary by ensuring the health of your trees.

This year we enter springtime with a sense of uncertainty, but blooming flowers and emerging leaves stand as a sign that life continues. Those of us working from home and practicing social distancing can take time to get outside and reconnect with our properties and trees. We hope that your home, gardens and landscape provide some respite from the stress of this season.
