Did you know a species we don’t often see, but which looks great in the right setting is Alder (superior or knotty grade). Alder typically comes from the Pacific Northwest of the United States and is related to the birch tree. As far as hardwoods go it is not particularly hard, but when stained, it can take on a rich, dark brown color. Alder trees do not typically grow very tall and as a result the lumber from this species often will not exceed 10-12ft in length with shorter lengths being far more typical. #carpentry

Lawns are being overrun by annual crabgrass. Thousands of seeds lay dormant until conditions are perfect for germination and it thrives in extreme heat. If you applied pre-emergent weed control that creates a barrier for seeds, it became ineffective with the heavy rains and extreme heat. Did you know crabgrass does not grow in the shade. Planting trees will help cool your yard and limit weed growth. #Broccololandscapes #RocNY #Landscape #lawns #585

🌳✂️ While pruning is typically done in dormant seasons, summer pruning is sometimes necessary. Removing dead, damaged, or diseased branches during summer keeps your trees safe and healthy. Certain tree species also benefit from trimming after they’ve finished blooming earlier in the summer. Trust our expert arborists to ensure your trees remain in great condition all year round! 🌿🌞 - - #AdvancedTreeSolutions #SummerTreePruning #Kent #TreePruning #Arborists
