Tree Removal

In some cases removal is the only option, from a dead tree or if your tree is showing significant die back and/or Deadwood. Your tree may be stressed due to many reasons, disease or quite simply the life expectancy of the tree.

 

Hedge Trimming

Hedge trimming should be done every 1-2 years. Hedges are beneficial for privacy, a sound barrier and also for small-medium nesting birds. Often times you will see a robins nest in the spring time in the middle of a hedge.

Pruning

Pruning is essential part of your trees health, from a young tree to an old mature tree. It's important to correct your trees structure when it is young to prevent weak unions and overall health of your tree as it matures. The best time to prune is in the spring time to reduce the risk of infection or disease. Pruning out dead wood is a critical part as the tree ages to make it safe for buildings/people underneath as well, to speed up your trees recovery time.

 

Storm Damage

Unfortunately after a storm you encounter some damage in your trees. We have the tools and know how to safely remove if severe enough or prune if a few branch's where damage. Luckily we can reduce the likelihood of damage in the future.

Bracing + Tree Support

Bracing and tree support is a option for trees with double stems. A tree with 2 stems can be dangerous for near by buildings, instead of removing the tree we can put a cable in it to help stabilize it and reduce the risk of failure and further your trees life.

 

Stump Grinding

Stump grinding always a good idea after a removal to be able to plant in the same area again or simply to make your lawn look orderly.
