Weak crotches in trees are the ones 

 that split apart in the storms. Dead 

 limbs are the ones that fall— a 

 menace to life and property. Trees 

 with cavities are the ones that the 

 winds blow over. A fallen tree can- 

 not be replaced in your lifetime 

 The loss of trees is the price of neglect 

 You may think that your trees are sound - but 

 do not trust to guesswork— learn the truth 

 through a Davey Tree Expert without cost or 

 obligation. If your trees need no treatment 

 you want to know it— if they do need treatment ( 

 you ought to know it. Let a Davey Tree 

 Expert examine your trees now.
