Prune dead limbs from trees and shrubs. Complete this task before the leaves fall off and remove only those limbs that are clearly dead. Don't prune off any living or healthy limbs at this time. Always be sure you know what type of trees and shrubs you have and what their specific care is, but it's a good general guideline to remove dead growth before winter winds pick up.
great border around tree - if possible to do around oaks. Highlights, honors the tree. Maybe if not a cement round, maybe just a round little fence like that tree in Rancho San Antonio
