Our professional arborists can determine the health of the trees on your property. It takes a professional to inspect the tree to be sure. Trees that appear to be dying may actually only need some TLC; trees that appear to be healthy may actually be in danger of coming down. Our arborists know what to look for.

What makes trees dangerous?

Trees that have structure defects that are unstable, or that have dangling or damaged branches are among the most dangerous trees. A large tree is not dangerous in and of itself-unless it poses a potential hazard due to damage, disease, injury, or instability. Trees may exhibit structural problems at the base or in the upper canopy, so a full inspection is necessary to truly gauge the potential risks your home or yard are exposed to. Our arborists are experts in identifying trees that pose a danger.

What's the difference between stump removal and stump grinding?

The best option for you will depend on what you would like to do with the area where the tree was. If you want to plant another tree in the area, we recommend removing the stump (rather than grinding it). This will remove more of the root system from the old tree to make room for the new tree to grow. We do not do stump removal. Stump grinding will allow you to plant grass and small plants in the area but does not remove as much of the old root system. As a result, we don't recommend planting a new tree in the same spot.

Do we spray trees with pesticides for insects?

No, we don’t believe in the use of pesticides to control insects in most cases. We feel that if your tree is healthy it can withstand an attack from common insects. We recommend maintaining your tree with regular pruning and fertilizing to keep it strong and healthy. However, in some cases the use of pesticides are necessary, and we can recommend a reputable tree service for you to contact.

Topping is no longer a recommended pruning method to cut a tree down in height, and is bad for many reasons. For one, it removes so much of the crown that it upsets an older tree’s well-developed crown-to-root ratio and temporarily cuts off its food-making ability also the large stub of a topped tree has a difficult time sealing, which makes it highly vulnerable to insect invasion and decay. Your estimator can discuss other methods of pruning to maintain a certain height, and to try to repair trees that have been damaged by topping.

When is the best time to prune a tree?

There are different times to prune different trees, for example, most flowering trees should be pruned after they bloom, and Maples can be pruned most times of the year. It is best to discuss pruning with the estimator because every tree is unique in its placement on your property and it’s condition.

How often should I fertilize my trees?

We recommend you deep-root fertilize your trees every 2 to 3 years. However, trees that are not in good health may need to be fertilized more frequently. To get more information on tree care, please contact us.

It helps maintain the well-being and appearance of trees by removing dead or damaged branches. This allows for better air circulation and prevents unhealthy branches from forming.

Stump Removal and Stump Grinding

Stump removal is often necessary after a tree has been cut down. There are a few different ways to remove a stump, and the most effective option depends on the size and condition of the stump. If the stump is small and in good condition, it may be possible to remove it with a chainsaw or other hand tools. If the stump is large, or in poor condition, we might have to use an excavator to finish the job.

Stump grinding is the process of using a machine to grind the stump down into small pieces. The machine has a rotating wheel with sharp teeth that can chip away at the stump, making it smaller and smaller until it is level with the ground. This process leaves behind small wood chips that can be used for mulch or easily removed from the site.

You may need to have the stump removed for a variety of reasons. It could be causing damage to the roots of your other trees. Or it could simply be a safety hazard. It could be a fire hazard. Maybe you're just tired of it and want to go ahead and have it removed. No matter what the reason, our tree care specialists can create a customized game plan on how we can go about removing it and maybe even grinding the stump for mulch around your home.

There are also many ways to remove a stump by yourself as well. The most common is to use a chainsaw. The first step is to measure the height and width of the stump. Then, you will need to purchase a chainsaw that is powerful enough to cut through the stump. The next step is to mark the outline of the stump with spray paint. Be sure to avoid any underground cables or wires.
