Pruning 101: How to Prune your Street Trees

Meredith Brown Good Landscaping, Tree Care May 21, 2020May 21, 2020

Pruning is essential when we think about overall tree care and maintenance. Pruning removes branches that are less than desirable, such as those that are broken, damaged, diseased, or dead. By removing structurally unsound branches early on, we reduce the risks of tree problems or branch failure as the tree matures. With a little bit of skill and knowledge of how to properly prune, you can safely and effectively prune your street tree.

Cedar Apple Rust

Lisa Simms Good Landscaping, Tree Pests May 21, 2020May 21, 2020

Tree maintenance isn’t simply about mulching, pruning and watering our trees. It is also about checking them for insects and disease. One such disease is a common fungus that affects crabapple trees and fruit-bearing apple trees – Cedar Apple Rust. So before you plant an orchard of apple or pretty crabapple trees, ask yourself this: Is there a cedar tree lurking in my yard or neighborhood?

Best trees for pollinators

Immaculate lawns. Crop monocultures. Burning bush hedges. If you love nature the thought of these landscapes make you shudder.

Wildflowers. Community gardens. Trees. Wait, trees? Yes! Trees attract hundreds of insects including pollinators! A native oak tree can attract over 500 different butterfly and moth species (Tallamy). And when the insects come, the birds are soon to follow…
