Tree Care Tips for New Homeowners

When my wife and I purchased our first home, we learned a lot about tree care. We had always lived in apartments, so when we moved into a home that had a yard filled with trees we put a lot of research into caring for them. We realized that having dead branches trimmed off our trees on a regular basis not only helped keep our trees in good condition, but it also helps keep our family and property safe from the hazards of falling branches. We are very eager to share everything else we have learned about tree care on our new blog, so check back often for new tips!
