Q: Who does a perc test?

• <div><p>Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-does-perc-tests.htm">professionals you hire if you need a perc test</a>.

Q: How do you tell if a tree is a historic landmark?

• <div><p>This is fairly rare, but sometimes the local government or a group like a historical society will label a tree as a landmark, or historical item.

If the tree in question is a landmark, call your local government and ask how to proceed before making any plans.</p></div>
