Tree Care
Tree Surgery Tree surgery covers three basic fields: cabling, bracing, and cavity filling. Cabling is when a cable is installed in the tree to help reduce stress to a limb crotch area. Cables need to be installed in the proper location and with the proper material. More harm can come from improperly installed cables than leaving the tree alone. Bracing is when holes are drilled into the trunk, usually around limb crotch areas, and bolts are installed though the tree. Bracing assists cabling, bracing is usually done with cabling. Cavity filling is just like what it sounds like. Cavities are cleaned, washed, and covered. They are usually covered with concrete but other material can be used. The purpose of this is to slow or reduce decay in the stem of the tree or limb. A side affect of filling is that the tree should grow over the cavity faster, leaving a better looking stem. Tree Pruning Tree and shrub pruning will remove dead wood from trees and allow more sunlight to penetrate. Limbs that may be interfering with a building can be removed or cut back. Hazardous tree inspections are made for your safety. Our qualified professionals can help you to decide if a tree should be removed. Tree Removal and Stump Removal Complete tree and stump removals can be done in a safe and organized manner. Cabling and bracing of weak trees will help prevent them from splitting in high winds and causing serious damage. Key Benefits
Tree removal can be the hardest aspect of tree care because of the difficulty of removing large trees in tight places. We have mastered the problem of difficult removals. We have the ability to remove trees that other companies cringe when they see them, or simply walk away from. Tree Trimming Tree trimming is one of the most important but under appreciated services that can be done to a tree. Trimming removes dead wood that can fall and damage property or persons. Trimming removes crossing limbs, cracked limbs, limbs with excessive decay, and sink limbs. Proper trimming includes removing limbs at the branch bark ridge, therefore avoiding tear-down wounds and nub cuts that can lead to decay. Here the branch can heal over faster and easier. It's important to remember that any wound paint or sealant is bad, very bad for the tree. Tree paint can lead to slow wound healing and decay. For additional information: Fertilization Fertilization and aeration programs are available to promote proper growth of root systems in heavily compacted clay soils in urban environments Key Benefits
Trees that grow in a natural environment tend to be healthier. The main reason for this is because the organic layer that covers the forest floor is undisturbed. The organic layer is a giant compost pile. The compost is used by the trees for nutrients. The organic layer also fights soil compaction by spreading the weight of any traffic over a wide area. Trees that grow in our yards often have a nutrient deficiency. The deficiency is caused by removing the organic layer and introducing competition. The organic layer is removed during construction to allow the soil to compact better. Competition comes from grasses, shrubs, and flowers. The tree now has lost the compost pile and must compete with other plants for the nutrients that are not being replaced naturally. Trees might need a general fertilizer or a special micro-nutrient fertilizer to corrects certain deficiencies. A licensed tree surgeon will be able to tell what needs done. Trees can be fertilized several different ways. Different methods are listed below to give you an idea of what your tree may need.
