A Tree Surgeon is a specialist in the care of individual
trees. Tree surgeons are knowledgeable about the needs of trees
and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Employing a
tree surgeon is a decision that should not be taken lightly.
Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial
returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add
considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can
be a significant liability. Pruning or removing trees,
especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should
be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in
trees.
Services which All Year Round Tree Care Provide:
Pruning
We can determine the type of pruning necessary to maintain
or improve the health, appearance, and safety of trees.
These techniques include:
- eliminating branches that rub each other
- removing limbs that interfere with wires, building
facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, or windows, or that
obstruct streets or paths
- removing dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard or
may lead to decay
- removing diseased or insect-infested limbs
- creating better structure to lessen wind resistance
and reduce the potential for storm damage
- training young trees
- removing limbs damaged by adverse weather conditions
- removing branches, or thinning, to increase light
penetration
- improving the shape or silhouette of the tree
Removal
Although tree removal is a last resort,
there are circumstances when it is necessary. We can advise
you whether a tree should be removed. Removal is recommended
when the tree
- is dead or dying
- is considered irreparably hazardous
- is causing an obstruction that is impossible to
correct through pruning
- is crowding and causing harm to other trees
- is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen
- is located in an area where new construction
requires removal
Emergency Tree Care
Storms may cause limbs or entire trees to
fall, often landing on other trees, homes and other
structures, or cars. The weight of storm-damaged trees is
great, and they can be dangerous to remove or trim. We can
assist in performing the job in a safe manner, while
reducing further risk of damage to property.
Planting
We can either plant trees, or recommend the
types of trees that are appropriate for a specific location.
The wrong tree in the wrong location could lead to future
problems as a result of limited growing space, insects,
diseases, or poor growth.
