its time to trim, leave the big projects to the pros- For
those of you who may have missed it, The Kansas City Star
published a great article in late September of 2010. The
article featured pictures of Vanbooven Arborist John Cox and had
several quotes from Vanbooven Arborist Brad Hatfield, taken from
an interview. The
article itself was well written and explained the importance of
hiring Certified Arborists to ensure work is done safely and to
Arboricultural standards. An
interesting thing happened soon after the article was printed in
Kansas City.The article went NATIONAL and was in newspapers in 12
states. Even
more amazing, it was in newspapers in Canada, British Columbia
and was mentioned in online media in London England. Because
of the fast pace of online media, blogs and social networking,
this article is now linked to gardening websites, tree care
websites and numerous blogs. The nice
thing for us is regardless of where people live, there is a
growing awareness of the value of trees and the importance of
hiring professionals to care for them properly. Storm cleanup was underway as
Sergio Herrera of VanBooven Tree Care worked on a fallen
Hackberry tree Monday at 68th Terrace and Mission Road in Prairie
Village. The giant tree fell, which smashed a privacy fence,
during storms Sunday night. "This is the worst I've seen
today, " said Chris Brewer (left) of VanBooven Tree Care,
who was on hand to help with the Hackberry tree. Photo by Tammy
