Who knew??

Don’t mulch your trees to death
🌳☠️😵

One simple way to support tree health is proper mulching. A layer of mulch helps retain moisture, reduce competition from grass and protect trees from damage caused by lawn equipment.

Over time, mulch also breaks down and improves soil conditions around the tree.

Proper care now can help trees stay healthier through the hotter months ahead.

Lots of tree service going door to door. Please don’t trim trees until July 1st Then you’ll have seven months to trim as you please!! Help prevent the spread of oak wilt that’s at least in Plateau section. Make sure crews seal all cuts of oak trees all year round.

That 2 a.m. chirp from a low battery in your smoke alarm? No thanks.

Skip the middle-of-the-night surprise and take a minute today to test your smoke alarms.
✅Press the test button on every smoke alarm in your home to make sure it’s working.
✅ Replace the batteries if needed.
✅While you’re testing, check the date on the alarm. If it’s more than 10 years old, replace the entire smoke alarm.

A working smoke alarm can give you the early warning you need to escape safely.

Test them now, and sleep soundly tonight knowing you and your family are protected.
