Tree Health
Trees shade our homes, lower our energy costs, clean our air, beautify our surroundings and add value to our property.  There are many things we can do to to promote and maintain the health of our landscape's trees. Regular proper pruning is a very important health benefit that also can prevent injuries and property damage. Additionally, by improving soil fertility & aeration, trees obtain the nutrients they require to thrive.  Often by the time a tree shows obvious signs of distress, the problem has already progressed to the late stages. Having an expert in local conditions and tree problems inspect the health of your trees regularly can prevent devastating damage from pests and disease, and identify any structural problems or safety concerns.
Mature trees are found to be more susceptible to decay, disease and structural defects. Many old trees will gradually lose branches and limbs as they decline. An ISA certified arborist is needed to evaluate their structural integrity and provide proper pruning and fertilization to reduce the risk of failures. Decay, weakly attached branches, cracks, and splits indicating imminent failure, poor architecture, and dead hanging branches, should be addressed immediately to keep the area around the tree safe for people, pets and property.


Proper Pruning for Tree Health & Beauty
Pruning is a practice that is periodically required on all woody landscape plants to promote and maintain health. Properly pruned trees are pleasing to the eye, healthier, and add equity to your home and landscape.


There are many different kinds of pruning used by arborists to manage tree health.


"Cleaning" is when the arborist removes branches that rub together, are dead, damaged, infected by disease, or suffer from insect infestation.  It helps to prevent injuries and property damage by improving branch structure and removing weak limbs before they can fall to the ground.
"Thinning" is when the arborist removes live branches selectively to reduce the density of the foliage.  This type of pruning significantly reduces wind resistance and damage to the tree from storms with high winds.
"Raising" is when the arborist prunes the lower branches to provide clearance from the canopy or light to plants or lawn beneath the tree.
"Structural Pruning" is when the arborist removes weakly attached branches and structurally weak branches.  On young trees the arborist can remove branches to create a strong framework for future growth.  The shape of the tree is maintained to provide a natural open grown form typical of the species.


Safe and Professional Tree Removal
It is our goal to preserve trees for our clients.  However, tree removal is necessary in certain situations, such as construction and building additions.  Removals should be performed to eliminate dead, dying or hazardous trees and competitive trees that are planted too close together without enough light and space to develop. Tree removal is the most dangerous aspect of arboriculture. Often, the trees to be removed are located in confined spaces near homes, utility lines, and other property.  Experienced, trained arborists are essential for safely and successfully performing this task.  Due to the risks it is very important that you do not attempt to remove such trees yourself.


Stump Grinding Provides Immediate Results
Left to nature, it can take 20 years or more for a stump to decompose.  That unattractive tree stump could be creating a hazard or just a nuisance.  We can grind out stumps and the area can then be restored to lawn or a plant bed.  Stump grinding is a cost effective and permanent way to make the area safe and attractive again.
