Seattle Prune insect-infested wood

In Seattle, homeowners often face the challenge of managing insect infestations in their trees and shrubs, especially in wood that has been compromised. Insects can weaken trees, cause unsightly damage, and create safety hazards.

By maintaining your landscape, you not only enhance curb appeal but also ensure a safer outdoor environment, reduce maintenance costs, and support eco-friendly practices.
