Healthy trees serve many purposes in your local community. A way for homeowners to ensure their trees stay healthy is by hiring an arborist. Professional, trained arborists know how to properly maintain trees for the safety of the public and health of the tree.

Trees are an investment that require proper tree care; however, pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.

Planning ahead is important when you are thinking about planting a new tree. People often plant trees without thinking about how large they will grow once they mature. It's difficult to imagine that the six- or eight-foot tree you plant today could grow as tall as 80 or 100 feet over time.

LG&E's Right Tree, Right Place guide can help you select a tree that is appropriate for the area you're considering, and provides valuable tips on how to plant the right tree in the right place to prevent the tree from growing into overhead power lines.
