Tree Care

Tree care should be seen as an environmental investment that protects and preserves the future of some of our most precious natural resources.

There are about 40 tree varieties most common to our area, some of the most common are Tulip Poplar, Elm, Beech, Sycamore, Gum, Linden, Maple, Oak, Dogwood, Cherry, Pear, Magnolia, Locust, Hickory, Chestnut, and Walnut. These are decididuous hardwoods, other evergreens such as Cypress, Holly, Spruce, Hemlock, and Eastern White Pine are also very prevelant in our area.

The use of a certified arborist provides a professional overview to a long-term care program for all of your tree care needs. The benefits of effective tree maintenance are numerous. Trees that are properly preserved and treated not only beautify the surroundings in which we live, but also offer many rewards in terms of purified air, weather protection and overall property value.

In addition to regular maintenance, emergency tree care service is also important to the welfare and safety of those that enjoy being surrounded by trees.

Regular maintenance is provided as a preventative measure that encourages the vitality and health of trees. Periodic tree care is also cost effective and saves significant amounts of time and money as opposed to treating problems as they arise.

A structured care program allows for visual inspections of both young and mature specimens. This is acted upon with regular fertilization, mulching and pruning. An effective tree care maintenance schedule will also pick out mite and pest infestations, diseases and other signs of deterioration.

Detecting potential problems at the earliest stage allows a trained arborist to take corrective action before the effects can become damaging to a tree. A healthy tree can often live a very long time, and effective care means that the benefits of a lovingly maintained tree will be passed on for several generations.

Inspections can be carried out annually and these visual checks give an arborist many indications of the health of a particular tree. As well as isolating obvious problem points such as physical damage or infestations, an arborist will observe other characteristics that build a picture of the specimen’s vigor. Leaf and bud growth, twig growth, leaf presence and crown dieback are all reliable indicators of overall tree health.

Reductions in fresh growth are an obvious sign of change and a regular tree care program allows an arborist to make reference to previous inspections to find signs of abnormality. Crown dieback, fungi and decay are also reliable sources of concern. By picking up on problems at an early stage, there is always a much better chance of providing a lasting remedy and preventing further damage or death.

Regular mulching provides a beneficial rooting environment for trees. Moisture is retained easily and weed growth is also halted. This allows a tree to enjoy the maximum benefits of soil quality and nutritional content to promote further growth and health.

Fertilization also helps to create a healthier environment and adds further nutrients to a soil that may not be present naturally. Some fertilizers will also help to balance the pH of the surrounding soil.

Pruning is vital and allows dead, damaged or diseased limbs to be removed. This helps to prevent a further spread of problems and also improves the structure of a tree. This leads to a safer environment and a stronger, healthier specimen.

Of course, there will always be times when preventative measures aren’t enough and an emergency tree care service can also be of great benefit. Storm damage or just an unfortunate accident can not only endanger the life of a tree but also the safety of those living nearby.

A certified arborist will be able to make a safe, informed decision on preserving the life of a damaged tree or, in a worst-case scenario, decide on the best way to remove it. As skilled professionals, we are also be able to make the surrounding area safe as a matter of priority.
