Not every tree accident can be prevented. However, a proactive tree management plan can prevent many incidents.

With the cooler months we typically see a pick up in tree trimming. Due to shorter days, soil cooling and many other reasons the tree is slower to "bleed" after a cut. Trees like Eucalyptus and Pines need to be trimmed in the winter for this very reason. However, many coastal communities allow for trimming all year round.  Monarch provides tree management services that will work in concert with your Arborist.  Trees add tremendous value to your property. Let's make sure we use Certified Arborist who understand the guidelines set forth by the ISA.
