Working on a warm day mid January We sure do. However in the winter weather plays a more important role than the rest of the year. If the ground is too soft from melting snow or rain we try and schedule around that. We do not want to cause unnecessary damage to lawns. A good…
That depends on where you are. In CT anything such as pruning, cabling, applying pesticides or improving the health of the tree requires an arborist. “But it is just a branch, my landscaper can cut it off.” Are you sure about that? For one it is against the law, two it may cause damage which…

We live in New England. Ice and snow are normal weather events and sometimes they can wreak havoc. As you can see above the power service and phone lines were ripped off of the house from an overloaded branch. Schedule an appointment with a qualified arborist to inspect your trees for potential problems. Unfortunately some…
Here we have an example of a pine hedge row which has grown too large for the space. The branches were actually growing over the roadway and motorists were forced in some areas to drive over the center of the road to avoid scratching their cars. Trucks had to drive in the wrong lane! Sometimes…
