Wetland restoration is essential to the protection of existing natural areas. Restoration is a complex process that requires planning, implementation, and management. Wetlands that have been filled and drained retain many of their natural characteristics, allowing them to be restored. It involves renewing natural and historical wetlands that have been degraded and reclaiming their value as vital ecosystems.

In order to restore native wetlands, the control of exotic and invasive species is necessary. Employees of McGinty Bros., Inc. are skilled at invasive plant control, treatment, and removal. Our staff includes licensed herbicide applicators and a variety of equipment necessary to work on projects, large or small. We can help you create a management plan for your property.

Seasonal defoliation means that it is the ideal time to have your trees pruned! With no leaves on your trees our arborists have an unobstructed view of structural defects and dead wood.

In fact, Oaks and American Elms must be pruned during the dormant season. The insects that transmit Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease are not active while the trees are dormant.
