Pruning

Trees, in their natural state, are beautiful. In the landscape we strive to maximize the genetic potential of trees. Our goal in pruning is to produce healthy, structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing trees. We believe that a tree must be representative of its species and should be cared for as the individual species dictates, i.e., a Weeping Willow has different pruning requirements than does an American Elm. In addition, we must also consider the economic priorities of our customers as we care for their trees.

Standard pruning should accomplish any or all of the following:

• Removal of dead wood, diseased wood and mistletoe
• Re-cutting of broken or stubbed limbs
• Correct conflicting or crossing limbs where tree structure will not be negatively impacted
• Weight reduction of limb ends to minimize chances of breakage
• Light filtration to provide sufficient light to plantings beneath the canopy
• Provide for air filtration through the canopy to reduce incidences of breakage due to wind resistance
• Control or reduction of insect and disease problems
• Crown reduction, restructuring and/or shaping
• Accomplishing a particular effect or function, such as topiary or pollarding

Tree Removal

We encourage to preserve trees.   Some times tree removal becomes necessary. High-risk trees, over-mature trees in deep decline, or trees that simply have ceased to be an asset to the property are all potential candidates for removal.

Or perhaps you need more sun into a your garden area.

Safe tree removal starts with evaluating the position of the tree. Drop zones are then defined and we begin removing the tree in small sections. Guide ropes are often used to lower portions of the tree to the ground without causing damage to property. The tree is then hauled away for disposal. We suggest that you get rid of that unsightly stump as well. Please visit our stump removal service to learn how we can make your tree vanish completely.

Stump Grinding

Sometimes it is necessary to remove a tree.  We take all generated debris with us, leaving your property clean.

After the tree has been removed, we can then provide stump-grinding service to allow for other plantings to be installed over the area where the tree once stood.

Fertilization

Trees need certain elements to survive.  Daily activities can destroy the natural processes by which plants survive.  The pavements of our streets, sidewalks and driveways reduce the availability of oxygen, organic nutrients and water absorbed by a tree’s roots. The raking of lawns removes potential nutrients that would eventually work their way into the soil. If you have a well-kept yard, neatly mowed, you probably have trees with lack of these nutrients,  and  you have to do it for them.

After the tree has been removed, we can then provide stump-grinding service to allow for other plantings to be installed over the area where the tree once stood.
