Trees were not intended to grow in cities. An urban environment prevents many special challenges to the trees
that grow within it. Providing your trees with regular care and maintenance can help trees overcome those
challenges and live long and healthy lives.

Think of tree care as an investment. A healthy tree increases in value with age-paying big dividends, increasing
property values, beautifying our surroundings, purifying our air, and saving energy by providing cooling shade
from summer's heat and protection from winter's wind.

Providing a preventive care program for your landscape plants is like putting money in the bank. Regular
maintenance, designed to promote plant health and vigor, ensures their value will continue to grow. Preventing a
problem is much less costly and time-consuming than curing one once it has developed. An effective
maintenance program, including regular inspections and the necessary follow-up care of fertilizing and pruning,
can detect problems and correct them before they become damaging or fatal. Considering that many tree
species can live as long as 200 to 300 years, including these practices when caring for your home landscape is
an investment that will offer enjoyment and value for generations.

-Most evergreens should be pruned every 3-5 years

-Most deciduous trees should be pruned every 3 years

-Healthy trees could benefit from deep root fertilization every 1-3 years & possibly more often for trees battling
disease or recovering from damage

-Trees with any signs or cracking, rot in the roots or in a crouch of the tree, several dieing branches, leaning, or
significant branches overhanging a structure should be evaluated for hazards and possible removal
