Preparing Our Yards and Trees for Hurricane Season

Signature Tree Care
Signature Tree Care Emergency Tree Work

After Hurricane Irma swept through Southwest Florida during the 2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season, the devastation it left in its wake was a wake up call to many residents, who might have become complacent during the relative calm of the previous decade or so. But, with Irma still fresh in many people's minds, we're reminding people that being prepared includes more than just having water and food stored away. We’re now going to broaden our discussion to see what people should be doing with their yards, and the plants, and trees, they contain. We're joined in studio by Ian Orlikoff, he is an arborist, and owner of Signature Tree Care in Naples.
