Pruning Trees – Should I Get A Pro?
Q: We have five medium-sized trees in our landscape. They need to be trimmed up at the bottom and thinned out to keep branches off the house. Is this something I can do or do I need a pro?
A: My advice is that if you’ll need to use a ladder to prune a tree, you need a professional. As
proof, I offer my own broken rib and two friends’ broken arms. All three of us decided at one
time or another to ignore the ladder advice. Find a pro at georgiaarborist.org.
