Spring is in full swing, and if you’re anything like us at PROS Tree and Landscape, you’re already dreaming of lazy summer afternoons—preferably under the cool canopy of a shade tree. But here’s the kicker, if you want relief from the blazing sun by June, now’s the time to plant!

Not only do shade trees provide relief from the heat, but they also enhance your property’s value and reduce energy costs. At PROS Tree and Landscape, we believe in doing things the right way—using certified arborists to ensure your trees thrive for years to come.
