HOMEOWNERS: It is tempting to clean up yard debris and branches after a bad storm. You should only collect the smallest limbs and leave bigger branches to a professionals. Bigger branches on the ground can be under tension without noticing it and popup into your body or face causing server injury. Be patient and stay safe. Find a certified arborist on our membership directory.
