You might be wondering why a tree care company is sponsoring a hydrangea festival.

Honestly... it makes perfect sense to us.

Beautiful landscapes are about so much more than the flowers. The trees, shrubs, soil, and everything working together are what make Cape Cod's landscapes so special.

We're proud to support the Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival and celebrate the incredible gardens that homeowners have opened for everyone to enjoy.

If you're planning to tour this year's gardens, there's still plenty to see through July 19. We hope you get out and enjoy them as much as we have!

Southern Pine Beetle is now part of the Cape Cod landscape. It was first detected in Massachusetts in 2015, and damaging infestations were confirmed in 2022. We’re now seeing activity across the Cape from Falmouth and Bourne to Ptown.

This isn't a reason to panic, but its definitely something to pay attention to. Pitch pine is SPB's preferred host here, and love or hate them, we have a lot of pitch pines. Many properties have grouped pines that allow infestations to spread if left unchecked.

Even though it’s still winter, now is actually a good time to scout your trees and make a plan before activity picks back up in late spring.

We break it all down in the full blog post
