Concerned about your trees storms?
While well executed pruning can reduce the risk of storm damage, poorly executed pruning can elevate the risk. The pruning of medium to large trees is best left to qualified arborists who are trained to evaluate the need and apply treatment.
For a list of ISA certified arborists in this area: www.goodtreecare.com and look for the “Find an Arborist” tab.
