FALL IS AN IDEAL TIME
TO PLANT TREES
You may think of fall as the end of the
growing season, but the opposite is true.
Planting trees this time of year enables
the root systems to become established
before the ground freezes and winter
sets in. Trees planted in the fall are also
better equipped to deal with heat and
drought during the summer.
Before you grab your shovel, however,
grab your phone. Every digging job
requires a call to 811 in order to get the
location of underground utility lines
marked. Digging without calling can
disrupt service and potentially result in
fines and repair costs.
Simply tell the 811 operator where
you’re planning to dig and what type of
work you’ll be doing. The affected local
utilities will send a locator to your prop-
erty, free of charge. Then you’ll know
what’s below and be able to dig safely.
