Since snowfall is predicted it is important to take the proper measures to inspect your trees now for any potential hazards. Make sure there aren’t any broken branches tangled in the tree. Inspect all of your trees including the trees that hang over walkways, sidewalks, driveways and all structures. If you have trees that hang over your home or any other structure have a professional like the ones at Cartwright Tree Care inspect the tree for any potential hazards and access the trees trimming needs.
