 Winter
2010
Hello! As temperatures have drop trees need to
be closely looked at for overhanging and/or dead limbs. Storms and heavy sleet
and snow - yes I said snow (especially sleet) - are to blame for many trees
dropping that big limb or branch at the most inconvenient time possibly hitting
your house, shed, garage or worse yet your car.
What a hassle! So what should you do? You can call Tim Corbin's
Tree Service and let us have a look. If something
needs to be done we'll tell you. If nothing needs to be done, we'll tell you
that too.
Winter is the perfect time to plan for Spring - ahhh spring......lovely tulips
and other bulb flowers in bloom and all those flowering shrubs. Hope you
remembered to prune them right after they all bloomed because it is too late now
since they have all set their buds already - you did didn't you?
And you remembered to mulch everything - but not so close to the tree or shrub
that a critter will find his lunch! Yes, mice & voles & chipmunks will dine on
the bark so the mulch needs to be slightly away from that tree or shrub. Some of
these critters will also eat the roots of your shrub so have a good look for any
holes. You can buy products that "may" kill them if they are placed deep inside
those holes. Ask your garden center dealer about this.
Let us know if we can help.
And speaking of winter - did you know we deliver cut to suit
firewood and stack it up neatly at you home. We also
supply restaurants that use firewood.
Here's a tip on firewood - convenience is nice having it stacked next to the
door - but don't do it unless you want wood boring insects and roaches walking
right in. Instead have a safe dry place, covered, at least 5 feet away from your
home. Get a cloth wood carrier with closed ends to bring wood into your home &
immediately put the wood into your fireplace or wood stove (bugs wake up when
they get warm!).
Be safe and have a great winter. We look forward to hearing from you - serving all
