- Tree RemovalOf course, we have a healthy respect for trees, and we are in the business of caring for and preserving them, however, occasionally trees need to be removed. Tree removal is recommended when a tree is dead, dying, or considered to be a potential risk. Tree removal should never be taken lightly since the tree owner and the surrounding community loses the full functionality and environmental services that the tree provides.
- Tree Pruning and TrimmingTree pruning is very important in the life of a tree, and should be considered routine maintenance for trees of all ages. Tree pruning often begins in the nursery before a tree is even dug and transplanted to its new home. This is called establishment pruning, and is done to establish the main leader and proper scaffolding branches. It also helps eliminate potential problems later with the overall form of the tree. Establishment pruning should take place even after the tree has been transplanted up until it has been in the ground for up to ten years. Establishment pruning is often overlooked, since the tree is small, and people believe it needs no maintenance. The opposite is true, actually, and the long term development of a good branching structure starts early.
- Tree MaintenanceGraf Tree Care specializes in Plant Health Care, and out of all of our applications, root feeding is our specialty in the world of tree heatlh. We have found our niche in specialty root feeding by using the right fertilizers at the right time on the right trees. What may be the right fertilizer, timing and application method for one tree may not be beneficial for another. Over time, we have steered ourselves away from broadcast fertilizers for all trees that can be inefficient for us and our customers both. Let’s start by explaining why root feeding is important in the urban landscape.
