Pruning

The arborist can determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance and safety of your 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 sidewalks.
• 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.
• Thinning or removal of unnecessary branches.
• Improving the shape or silhouette of the tree.

Removal

Although tree removal is a last resort, there are circumstances when it is necessary. An arborist can help decide whether or not a tree should be removed. Arborists have the skills and equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees. Removal is recommended when:

• The tree is dead or dying.
• The tree is considered irreparably hazardous.
• The tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through pruning.
• The tree is crowding and causing harm to other trees.
• The tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen.
• The tree should be removed to allow for new construction.
• Emergency Tree Care - Storms may cause limbs or entire trees to fail, often landing on homes, cars, other structures or other trees. The weight of storm-damaged trees is great and they can be very dangerous to remove or trim. An arborist can assist in performing the job in a safe manner, while reducing further risk of damage to your property.

Stump Grinding

Stump Grinding will reduce the height of a stump below ground. The remaining hole can then be filled with topsoil and new grass can be planted.
