Trees add beauty to the landscaping of any home.
However, poorly maintained trees or trees damaged by storms can die before their time, create personal safety hazards for your family, and even cause costly property damage to your home.
A tree specialist should be called to analyze your trees to determine whether they should be removed or not.
A tree should be looked over with a trained critical eye, and know which risk factors should be considered. Each year thousands of trees in the U.S. are damaged by storms, wind, lightning, and ice, causing millions of dollars in property damage.
When a homeowner notices a tree’s health is in decline, it should be tended to immediately. One should consider tree removal if there are dead limbs, decayed trunks, weak ground conditions, infestations of bugs, or large, uneven weight distribution.
If it’s time to remove a tree from your property, the best methods are those used by a trained arborist.
Dan Ross adds, “While removing a tree might seem like a very simple task, it is important you hire the right professionals to do the job safely and properly so not to cause potential damage to any structures or personal injury.”

Travel to French soil and join us for a night filled with two of the most beloved French traditions—no plane ticket required! ?
On January 25th, we invite you to experience the magic of Galette des Rois, a 700-year-old tradition celebrated across France throughout the entire month of January (and even beyond!). This sweet, almond-filled puff pastry topped with a golden crown isn’t just a treat—it’s a celebration! The lucky person who finds the fève (a porcelain charm hidden in one of the slices) becomes the King or Queen for the Day, and don’t worry—there will be plenty of royalty to go around! ??
But that’s not all! In France, Les Voeux (New Year’s wishes) continue throughout January, often accompanied by Champagne and good cheer. We’re bringing that festive spirit to you, with a lively evening packed with French food, wine, and music.
