Shady Spot: The Importance Of Tree Care

Hi. I'm Terry, and I have spent the last decade working as a landscape gardener. In the past, my company would mostly landscape new projects. In recent years, there has been great demand for repairing gardens that have been damaged by natural disasters, particularly storms.
