Do you have a cat or a dog? Have you been finding ticks in and around your home? Although a flea and tick collar can help protect your furry friend from being a food source for these pests, such a collar won't necessarily prevent your property from being an attractive place for ticks to live. They may be carried in by unprotected stray dogs and cats or even by local wildlife. Whatever the reason for the presence of the ticks, getting rid of them isn't always easy.
Trees are beautiful and offer us things like shade in the summer, but sometimes a tree might be too close to your home or other building on your property and can create a dangerous situation. If the tree were to be blown down in a storm, it could damage your home or the building nearby, resulting in expensive repairs, not to mention the danger for people that were in the home.
When you rent an apartment or single-family home and have a problem with the property, you may not be able to make the necessary changes to satisfy your needs. But, being a homeowner usually gives you enough power to add features or make changes until you meet your needs.
If you have started to suffer from tree allergies, you may want to start looking at your property to figure out what you can do to minimize or eliminate the problem.
Healthy trees lead to a more attractive and safe landscape, since you will have minimal worries of blow-downs and dropped branches. Ensuring your trees begin each summer season in peak health doesn't take a lot of time or effort if you know what to do. The following guide can help.
Make sure there's no dead wood
Dead wood can attract insects, which can then burrow from the dead wood into the living wood where they weaken a tree and sometimes spread disease.
Do you really need to have the trees on your property pruned? If you've never had your trees pruned, you probably don't see a reason to do it now, but there are several reasons that you need to have trees pruned from time to time. Here, you'll find a short list of those reasons.
Protect the Home
Having trees growing directly beside your home can help to keep things cool during the summer, but those long branches can actually cause problems if you don't keep them pruned back.
