Webinar: Who Should You Trust With Your Trees? Choosing the Right Arborist

As trees transition from summer drought to winter rain and storms, fall is a good time to take stock of their health. Preventive care can help keep trees healthy, reduce the risk of problems, and protect the investment you’ve made in the trees around your home. But when a tree needs attention, how do you know whom to call? What does it mean to be a certified arborist? What should you look for when hiring someone to prune, assess, or care for your trees—and what practices should make you wary? Join Jeremy Wagener of Urban Timber Tree Service for a practical discussion of how professional arborists evaluate and care for trees, why proper tree care matters, and how to choose a qualified arborist. Learn what you can do now to help keep healthy trees standing through winter storms and give them a strong start for the next growing season.

Ivy Pulls: Join Our On-call Ivy Crew

English ivy hangs on through winter at a time trees are particularly vulnerable. The invasive vines keep growing while trees are dormant, and the excess weight can increase risks for trees. Help us save trees by removing ivy and other invasive plants that threaten them. Weather makes it hard to schedule events, so please, sign up and we'll notify you when there is a good weather window so we can schedule an ivy pulling event. And if you know of a location where trees are suffering from ivy, you can notify us on this form.
