"Joe Homeowner" needs to hire a professional.

09/28/2019

I was out doing a proposal today and saw this. I advocate the use of "chemicals" in the right context, but really see many problems coming from "Joe & Jill Homeowner." Although don't get me started on "Big Ag."

It has taken 10 years, but I'm finally at the point to say that if you have a high value ash tree, you NEED to protect it from Emerald Ash Borer in the metro area ASAP! Use TreeAGE, effective 2 years at 99%. Stay away from the generics.

Great article on the old Chestnut tree. I think in Europe they still have some? Yet no longer in America.

Had the new "tree climber" out yesterday on a very difficult site with a stone dead and brittle tree in back yard. Access was VERY tight. Thanks Douglas of Energyscapes (and Karen who took the pics) in ensuring removal was completed by pros. :)

A new kind of "tree climbing"...72' of diesel and hydraulic power on this back yard boom that will fit through a 35" gate. Looking forward to using it the next few days around my home.

Spring, oh Spring, oh how I enjoy thee. One 1/2 day rain and things will be so green out…can't wait.

This is NOT an example of a professional.

Another reason why to hire a professional at any income or budget. If you don't know how to properly use a saw and have proper safety gear and training, it's just not worth the "savings." Hire a PRO! http://sports.yahoo.com/news/greg-norman-almost-severs-hand-chainsaw-045345606.html

Golfing great Greg Norman said he was recovering in a US hospital Sunday after almost cutting off his hand with a chainsaw. "Working with a chainsaw ALWAYS be respectful of the unexpected. Norman last week posted a photo of himself working with a chainsaw to cut back a small tree at what appears to…

I continually don’t understand it and the author is not I of Treehugger Tree Care (THTC). Men have gone astray when they have touched something that is not theirs and have owned something that is not theirs. I can’t own THTC or even write about how to successfully run and operate a business. Jesus is the ultimate CEO of THTC, therefore my constant prayer is that I desire to show the Love of Christ in all I do. Weather it’s giving me the skills to do the work or the right equipment to have on a job site, I do it in such a way that it DOSEN’T involve good leadership, a perfected mission statement, or being able to have a vision of the future. What it is ALL about is giving credit where credit is due, and it’s NOT me! All glory goes to God in whatever he plans for Treehugger Tree Care; and if He wants to take it all away, I’m ok with that as well since it is HIS anyways. Job 1:21.
