Is sealing your tree the right thing to do?

Sealing a tree used to be a common practice, but it's not good for your tree. Sealing a tree after it has been cut can potentially be harmful to the tree's health. When a tree is cut, the wound is exposed to the elements and can become infected by disease or pests. Sealing the wound with a sealant can prevent the tree from properly healing and closing the wound, which can lead to rot and decay. Additionally, sealants can trap moisture inside the wound, which can also promote decay. It is best to avoid sealing cuts on trees and instead allow the tree to heal naturally. If you are concerned about the health of a tree after it has been cut, give us a call.

Thanks again for voting us #1 in Northwest Arkansas for a 6th time! You've probably seen our commercials. These are the kids reenacting their voiceovers in them. Although their voices are a bit deeper twelve years later. They sounded like chipmunks back then 😂.
