Local Tree Doctor with a Conservationist Bent

In case you have questions about any of your trees...

Man in Trees

I’m sorry, miss. We’re going to have to operate.

When it comes to the family dogwood, that’s the last thing you want to hear. But when Josh Marcuson says so, you can trust that it’s for the best.
A tree doctor with a conservationist bent trained in jolly olde England, Marcuson is an ace in all things aboriculture — from verticillium wilt and canker diseases to proper pruning and public safety. And he’s got fierce saw skills to boot, which is particularly handy as he makes furniture on the side.

Call for a consultation for one issue (your date palm isn’t looking so hot) and he’ll not only tackle that (um, that’s because it’s from Africa) but also point out other issues you may not have suspected (there are beetles in your pine tree and that oily eucalyptus is too close to your house).

After all, you’ve got to see the forest for the trees.

An "Excellent Time to Buy," Especially with Good Credit

USA Today
Christine Dugas and Sandra Block

The credit crunch has turned into a buyer's market for consumers who have solid credit and the funds to contribute to a down payment. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 6.52 percent last week, its lowest level in three months, as a result of declining yields for Treasury securities and the downturn in the housing market; and rates on adjustable mortgages are also down. Moreover...jumbo loans are still available thanks to community and national banks...conditions that improve the landscape for home buyers. "If you want to move up to a bigger house or buy a home for the first time, and you have the credit and qualifications to do so, it's an excellent time to buy."
