Check Trees At New Home
Planning a new home, assess trees on the site with an arborist. Valuable trees add shade and value, while unhealthy or unwanted trees should be removed before construction to avoid later damage and expense. Protect desired trees with barriers during building and plan roots, utilities, and grading to minimize harm.
