Q: What’s the best time of year to prune a tree?

• <div><p>Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.</p></div>

Q: Will a tree straighten by itself?

• <div><p>Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.</p></div>

They have a technician there, Jeff who really knows his stuff. He knows the phones, knows the services and knows how to get the most bang for your buck. It is much better going to them than using Verizon's online service. They offer the same packages, the same prices, but you get the added help...

"The provider showed up on time as promised. After about 40 minutes the service guy was wrapping up and had to ask him to redo some sections that were clearly not clean. Also missed stairs completely. They did finish it up and final job was fine. Had some trouble communicating with service guy as his English was limited. Wasn't terrible but wouldn't use again.

"truly this was the most strength forward construction project I ever did. The whole process went very smooth. I have a new roof new solar system and I did it with full financing and no money down. The solar system pays for itself and a big portion of the roof cost. My bills are few dollars compared to over $200 per month and I am getting tax credits for the solar system. Great way to save money and be green, I wish more people would do it for the sake of our future."
