I get amazed at the advice some people get from tree services…Just because someone can run a chain saw does not mean you are a tree expert! Some people who pay for me to come over and really tell them what’s going on with their trees, usually have a story for me…like well the tree guy said that the trees were all bad and had root rot from those beetles.. Now there are beetles and there is root rot however these afflictions have clear signs. Just because a tree guy needs money is not a reason for removal.
Always consult an independent Arborist who does not work for a tree company and most independent Arborists have companies they can recommend and or work with on occasion.
Spring is here…and a little snow maybe.
