Tree Removal and Planting

• Tree Removal
  Removing hazardous trees is exactly as it sounds – hazardous. There are many ways of bringing a tree to the ground safely; there are also many ways to safely remove a tree stump, but only with proper training, equipment, and an experienced tree services team. While tree removal is a last resort, there are circumstances when it is recommended such as when the tree is causing an obstruction, causing harm to other desirable trees, or needs to be relocated or replaced by a more suitable tree.
• Stump Grinding and Removal
  While removing a hazardous tree is a big project in itself, the removal of the stump is even more involved. It’s also the reason many people have old stumps in their yards. Old tree stumps take up valuable space and can become tripping hazards when surrounding plants obscure the stump’s presence. Some stumps are easier to remove than others, but for every stump, there is a proper technique that makes the job easier and safer in the long run and leaves your property in better condition than before. In the end, stump removal is an opportunity for you to gain more yard space, a new planting area, or even a place for a new tree.

Tree Care

• Tree Pruning and Trimming
  Tree pruning is the most common maintenance performed on trees and the intent is to keep their structural integrity. Good tree pruning starts with a strong understanding of tree biology – an understanding that only comes with years of training, experience, and the certification of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).
• Tree Fertilization
• Tree Maintenance
  Proper tree care involves much more than simply digging a hole, placing the tree, and waiting for results. Nutrient deficiencies can cause premature death, but diagnosing and correcting nutrient problems is a tricky business. It requires knowledge of the correct levels of essential elements within the tree’s tissue and the underlying causes of any discovered deficiency.
• Tree Cabling and Bracing
  Cabling and bracing the tree to provide physical support for weakened branches and limbs. Such supports may not prevent a failure but they do reduce the risk of catastrophic failure.
