ARE DRY CEDARS A FIRE HAZARD?

Hot summer months, with little rain or watering can take a toll on your cedars, especially if they are older.

TRIMMING YOUR CEDAR TREES

Should You Feed Or Water Your Cedar Hedging?

Cedar trees used for hedging grow naturally in wet climates and therefore require a substantial amount of moisture to keep them healthy.

Potted or Fieldgrown Cedar Trees?

Both field-grown and potted tree production have been around for decades. They are both equally capable methods of producing high quality landscape trees.
