Question 3

When should I trim trees before storm season in Nebraska?

Accepted Answer

The best time to trim trees for storm preparation is during the late fall or winter when the tree is dormant and its structure is clearly visible without leaves. However, dead, diseased, or overextended branches that pose an immediate risk during high winds or ice storms should be pruned immediately, regardless of the season.

Question 4

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Lincoln, NE?

In most residential cases in Lincoln, you do not need a permit to remove a tree located entirely on your private property. However, there are exceptions for trees located in the city right-of-way (the space between the sidewalk and the street) or street trees. Our experienced team can help you navigate local municipal regulations if there is any question about a tree's jurisdiction.

Question 6

What is the best treatment for Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)?

Accepted Answer
