Q: Why is lightning striking a tree dangerous?

• <div><p>Lightning can cause massive damage, fires, and openings for other threats like bugs or fungal diseases. Barring any large fires or explosions, it&rsquo;s difficult to tell how much damage a lightning strike has done until after a thorough inspection. Contact local authorities immediately if lightning strikes a tree in your yard and it causes a fire or explosion.</p><p></p></div>

Q: How do I tell if a tree is dead?

• <div><p>A few signs a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-why-you-should-remove-dead-tree.htm">tree may be dead</a> is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.</p><p>If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.</p></div>

Q: What temperature is too cold to prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning can impact cold hardiness&mdash;but it&rsquo;s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don&rsquo;t want to prune trees when there&rsquo;s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it&rsquo;s pruned.</p></div>

Q: When should a leaning tree be something to worry about?

• <div><p>Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.</p></div>

Q: When should I seek professional gardening services?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/beginning-home-gardening-guide.htm">DIY home gardening</a> can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you&rsquo;d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you&rsquo;d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you&rsquo;ll need and how often to schedule them. </p></div>

I had my home remodeled (exterior) with vinyl siding. The work was contacted and performed with no issues. However, after a wind storm, some of the fascia from the remodel, was blown off. I have spent MONTHS trying to get warranty work/repairs performed on this. Multiple phone calls made....

They were the cheapest. I called a bunch of companies and they offered me the same kind of service like the other ones and they were the cheapest one. The service was good. They called me and then they came and checked the service. They are a good company.

They were very succinct in their instructions; I was to give them my credit card, they’d send me the item, I’d send them the old one, and they would give me half of the amount that they charged the credit card. There were no problems.

"Provided root treatment for three trees (1 red oak, 1 live oak & 1 silver leaf maple ) to both root feed the trees and kill infections inside the trees - particularly the silver leaf maple.
The Silver Leaf Maple is about 26 years old and I was about ready to cut it down. Bob White convinced me to allow him to treat the tree September 2012 but told me it would talk until the spring (2013) to see the difference. Both of the Oaks are substantially healthier and greener than similar trees on my street. But the Silver Leaf Maple appears to be rebounding very well, and if I can save this very old tree, then I will be very pleased and surprised. And right now - it looks as though it will do well.
Thanks Bob.
