Field notes
The page organizes its advice around failure modes that may not be visible immediately: incorrect cactus orientation, inadequate root-ball planning, topping, climbing spikes, and excessive canopy removal. It also gives homeowners a concrete screening sequence, including checking an Arizona Registrar of Contractors license and obtaining proof of general liability and workers' compensation coverage. A printable checklist is linked for use away from the page.
