Trees Trees Trees

A battle is being waged by homeowners to try and save their trees. As all of the roads are torn up, sewer and water replaced and then repaved, we have trees trying to live. IF you have a tree close to the road it is time now to start feeding it on the side that is not impacted by the road. I would vertically mulch them now and then top dress them with a little 1/4 inch of mulch to help them. Do it now before the construction begins, keep them watered well too. This is a dry time of year and exposed roots make it a vulnerable time. Street paving is important but so are our trees.

Look to an ISA certified arborist to help guide you or stop in to the code office and get a copy of construction and trees.
