Last month we highlighted three simple steps for diagnosing your tree problems. While it can be rewarding to complete an on-farm project independently, sometimes taking yourself out of the equation can be the best way to save both time and money.

1.)    Save Time – As the saying goes, time is money. Hiring a professional tree landscaper will allow you to check one more item off that long to-do list. You’ve already taken a step in the right direction by determining when and where you want to place your trees. Take a backseat on the tree planting so you can tackle other farm priorities.

2.)    Guarantee Your Satisfaction – Hiring a professional tree landscaper will provide you the satisfaction of a job well done. Though farmers are known for being a “jack-of-all-trades”, relying on a professional will help you mitigate the risk of spacing your trees incorrectly or planting them at the wrong depth.

3.)    Insure Your Investment – Having faith in the tree experts will give you peace of mind the project will be completed with care and according to your timeline. A farmer’s work day is always weather dependent. By allocating the job to a professional, you won’t have to feel rushed during the ideal establishment seasons (spring and fall) when you’re gearing up for planting or harvest.

So how can you connect with a tree professional? Participate in our Green Farmstead Partner Program! We work with a network of nurseries and landscapers from across the state to help you develop an attractive and functional windbreak on your livestock farm.
