Prepare Trees for The Season

It can be tricky to maintain trees on your property. Not only does a diseased tree look bad aesthetically, but it is also a huge danger to your home and property. This only gets worse in the winter, where it can be more arduous to care for a dying tree in the snow. Not to mention, trees are most at risk after snow storms that rip weak branches from trees and uproot whole trees from the ground. These trees then fall on power lines, cutting off power to the whole block or worse, landing on your home. Be prepared for the winter and have a professional evaluate your trees! Learn more about it below.

 

Tree Removal

Tree removal is something only recommended for the professionals. It’s a dangerous process, which is why arborists have years of experience tree felling before they even touch a tree. Watch the video below to see how the professionals do it: in the dead of winter!

 

Tree Health

Sometimes it is easy to identify when a tree is unhealthy, but other times it can be difficult to figure out! If your tree has foliage that is yellowing in the middle of the summer, or there is fungus growing on it, or branches are dying for no reason, there may be something wrong with the tree. Rather than trying to assess this for yourself, contact a professional arborist to diagnose the tree and make a treatment plan. The best thing you can do for trees on your property is know how to keep them healthy. Read more about tree health below.
