Local Considerations
The Nazareth area sits on rolling terrain with variable soil conditions. Some properties have the well-drained soils that support deep root systems, while others sit on heavier clay. This affects both tree health and removal complexity. Rural properties may also need to consider the tree's role as windbreaks or wildlife habitat.
