- Tree Pruning and TrimmingEnsure the health & proper growth of your Trees by trimming periodically. We prefer to only remove what is best for the health of the Tree or for a safety issue. A skillful pruning will improve the shape and appearance of your Trees,this will also enhance your overall landscape. Opening up the canopy by removing the proper amount of excess interior growth, heavy overhanging limbs, dead or broken branches is beneficial to the health of your Trees and can help to make your property safer. By doing so we increase airflow and sunlight which can help reduce disease issues in the canopy. This will also encourage new growth where needed,enable wounds to heal over properly,and help to minimize weather damage from wind,ice and snow. Another benefit can be the Increased sunlight to understory plants and grasses growing in too much shade under the Trees canopy. Here are a few other reasons to trim Trees are listed below...
- Tree Fertilization
- Tree MaintenanceTrees in the forest recycle their nutrients from the leaves, twigs and litter that fall to the forest floor. This is seldom the case in our urban landscapes, where our roots are often covered by lawns or pavement and all the natural nutrients may be cleaned up. Often the essential elements needed for our urban trees may be depleted or unavailable, especially in construction modified soils. Our prescription tree care method of meeting the plants needs are best determined by a soil and/or a leaf analysis. Importantly, elements and amendments needlessly or improperly applied may negatively impact the environment or have an adverse affect on your trees and shrubs.

- Arborist ServicesSupplemental support systems are used to reduce the high risk of failure to weak points of a tree and can extend the life of a tree when advisable. The placement of these systems requires a high level of expertise; improper installations can actually increase the potential for breakage. Installing these structural supports should be based on the recommendations of a Certified Arborist, once installed follow-up inspections should be done annually or more often if needed depending on each situation and conditions such as ice build-up or excessive winds. Guying or staking is usually for establishment of newly planted trees or straightening of trees that have been partially tilted possibly by a recent storm that will require additional support to keep them upright. Unfortunately, routinely in the case of the latter there may be an underlying defect of the root zone usually near the trunk that it will be to impractical to save the tilted tree.
- Tree MulchingWhen performed correctly mulching is one of the most effective practices to maintain plant health, (Please, No Volcano Mulching). Trees that are properly mulched are more vigorous and have higher rates of survival, than those covered with turf grass. Mulching beneath your treesand shrubs will help retain soil moisture, moderate temperature extremes, add organic matter back into the soil, reduce soil compaction and erosion. A mulched area will have fewer weeds and can also beautify your landscape by covering areas of bare dirt, or unsightly surface roots! Ideally a good mulch bed should extend out at least 3 feet in all directions from the trunk of newer plantings and as far out as practical or preferably closer out to the edge of where the branches of trees crown extend, as they become larger.
