It all begins with an idea.
Insurance companies are now sending drones to take pictures of trees in close proximity to homes of their policy holders. If there’s any possibility that a branch could touch your roof, you may receive mail with the following message: “You must cut back your trees within 1 month or we will drop your policy.”
Getting rid of any possible sign of neglect is not a bad thing. Getting branches off your roof is a good thing. The bad thing here is the timing. Pruning is best done in the dormant season (Nov-Feb in AR).
Pruning in the dormant season (when trees aren’t actively growing) has a lot of perks. It helps stop diseases and pests from spreading, makes it easier to see the tree’s shape, and sets the stage for strong new growth in spring. Since there are no leaves in the way, you can easily spot dead or diseased branches and trim them out without putting extra stress on the tree. Plus, the cuts heal up faster this time of year.
Don’t wait for you insurance company to put you on the clock. If you have branches near your roof, call for a free estimate.
For everything there is a season
It all begins with an idea.
There is so much thought and intention that goes in to proper pruning. One of the things that must be considered for the long term health of a tree is the time of year in which a tree is pruned. Of course, not all trees are the same in this regard. But generally speaking, it is not good to prune live branches in the Spring because it’s the growth season. The tree will likely respond to Spring pruning cuts by producing water sprouts and/or suckers. Suckers grow from the base of a tree. Water sprouts grow out of the tree itself. Both suckers and water sprouts are a type of epicormic growth, which is a stress response.
Sometimes you don’t have the luxury of waiting until the dormant season to prune your trees. If you have broken branches from storm damage, you probably don’t want to wait months until the dormant season to clean up. But if pruning is being done solely for the health or aesthetics of a tree, be patient and research what time of year is best to prune that specific type of tree.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
