The Las Cruces police and fire departments remind parents, and trick-or-treaters of all ages, to take the necessary steps that will make Halloween safe for everyone involved.

Maybe the most important safety precaution especially for parents of young children is to make sure their trick-or-treaters are adequately chaperoned by a parent or responsible adult.

And residents who invite trick-or-treaters onto their property should ensure that sidewalks and walkways are adequately lighted and safe for their guests.

Some additional safety tips include:

Go trick-or-treating with your child and, if possible, in a group. Make sure that costumes are visible to motorists and homeowners. Use a flashlight while trick-or-treating after dark and attach glow sticks (available for free at any Las Cruces Fire Department) to costumes. Assure that costumes fit appropriately and do not interfere with walking or vision. Make sure costumes or decorations do not come in contact with open flames, such as candles in jack-o-lanterns. Trick-or-treaters should keep to sidewalks and proper walkways. When crossing streets, do so only in designated crosswalks and only after checking for traffic. Motorists should be on the lookout for more pedestrians, especially small children and primarily on residential streets. Thoroughly inspect all candy and moderate the amount your child may consume. Call police immediately to report any inappropriate behavior, potentially dangerous situations or suspicious activity.

Trick-or-treaters also should be conscious to the fact that not all homeowners celebrate Halloween, or enjoy ghosts and goblins knocking on their doors. The basic rules of thumb are to refrain from trick-or-treating at homes with no Halloween displays or without adequate lighting, and keep your activities limited to respectable hours.

Stump Removal / Hedge trimming

We currently have two stump grinders - these machines literally grind the stump below ground level. They prevent trees re-growing and leave the site looking very neat. This method is especially useful where trees are standing in lawns. Before you request stump grinding it would be very useful to us if you could:

* Measure the width of any access * Notify us if you know where underground services are located (don't worry if you can't - our staff are trained in assessing this)

Stump grinders are powerful machines and no stump is too big. However, these machines are fairly large, so very narrow entrances or steep ground my prevent access

We can also remove stumps by other methods e.g. winching.

Hedge Trimming in High Wycombe

We can manage any size hedge and large or nuisance hedges are a speciality. If you are concerned that your conifer hedge is overgrown, we can also advise you of acceptable heights under the 'High Hedges' legislation.

We prune hedges sensitively and carefully with a high quality finish. We also lay and/or coppice native hedgerows and give advice on hedgerow management. We can supply woodchip as mulch for hedges, especially those that are large and are depleting the adjacent soil.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) October 27, 2014

Philadelphia is starting to feel winters bite in the air. Before winter storms strike, homeowners need to have trees inspected for safety hazards by an ISA Certified Arborist. Giroud Tree and Lawn provides the top tree service actions to take now to prevent storm damage.

Heavy snows, fierce winds and ice can be treacherous for trees, says Lou Giroud, President, Giroud Tree and Lawn and ISA Certified Arborist. Based on decades of winter storm experience, the trees most likely to be damaged in a storm are evergreens such as White Pines and Arborvitae as well as trees that have not had a recent safety hazard inspection or maintenance.

Homeowners can take the following steps to protect trees this winter. 1. Hazard Inspection: Have an ISA Certified Arborist do a root to crown inspection to identify hazards such as cracks, weak limbs, deadwood or unsafe root systems. 2. Tree Removal: Dead trees are a hazard and must be removed. Winter is an especially good time for removals since the ground is hard and there is less risk of damaging understory plants and lawns. 3. Winter Pruning: Two types of pruning are most critical in the winter: deadwood removal and reducing wind resistance. Selectively thinning branches helps the wind to move more easily through the tree and prevents uprooting. However, never thin more than 25% of a trees crown at one time. Additionally, dead branches should also be removed since those are the first to break in a storm. 4. Install Cables to Prevent Splitting: Trees with multiple trunks or weakly attached limbs are prime targets for splitting. To successfully secure a tree, use a tree service professional with the knowledge required to select the best cable system for each trees specific situation and install it at the right tension and location in the tree. 5. Shake Ice and Snow off Shrubs and Small Trees: Use a long pole or rake to gently lift branches and dislodge snow or ice. The heavy weight can cause trees and shrubs to break or split. Bradford Pears, Birches, White Pines and Arbor Vitae are most at risk.

Finally, professional certification and the tree industrys seasonal slowdown are two key factors in purchasing tree service in winter, says Mr. Giroud. Heres what homeowners should consider: 1. Is the tree service representative an ISA Certified Arborist? The ISA, International Society of Arboriculture, is the professional association of the tree care industry. 2. Tree service companies are traditionally slower in the winter and as a result pricing is often at its most competitive level.

Thanks Bernie. Our trees and shrubs have never looked so good. We have been so amazed at the turn around the maples have taken since cutting away the girdling roots and air knife work 3 years ago. We were close to loosing all of our azaleas before you started treating them. The most important thing is all of your products are organic and will not harm the environment. -- Diane S., Norwalk, OH

I should have done this before now but circumstances prevented it. This is what I must tell you. My trees are beautiful. The crowns on the Norway Maples are full and green. The two trees, Red Maple and Crimsom King, that had no root flares to speak of, are larger and fuller. I don't see any bugs on any of the trees and shrubbery. -- Frances D., Lorain, OH
