Property Inspections
Looking at a tree from an arborists’ point of view is slightly different than the average eye. We can perform an evaluation of your property to diagnose any potential risks regarding your trees and shrubs, as well as what improvements could be made to help your property thrive. We then work with you to develop an overall plan to maintain your trees health and safety. Whether the property goals are to reduce risk to potential targets or to plan out what is best for the plant material, a detailed inspection can help guide the project in a healthy direction.
Property Maintenance
Constant care and maintenance is the best way to keep your trees and shrubs healthy. We can create a long-term plan for your property and execute it at a pace that works for you. You create a monthly or yearly schedule for our staff to work on your property and we will continuously ensure your trees and shrubs continued health.
Ornamental Pruning
Pruning is a delicate and precise art that when done correctly can improve your plants health, structure and overall vigor. However, when done incorrectly it can cause severe damage. Shearing, topping and clipping techniques may seem like a fast and easy fix, but these practices are not healthy for your plants. Each species has a specific way it needs to be pruned to promote healthy structure. Our staff hand-prunes each species based on its needs and your overall vision for the property.
Filtered Forest Views
When you look into your wood line there can be a lot to take in and living in New England gives you the picturesque opportunity to observe the many tree species native to our area. However, many forest lines are thick and overcrowded, preventing you from really enjoying the beauty surrounding your home. Pruning a filtered view can help promote beautiful trees to form while allowing for a more aesthetic look at your forest or the view beyond it. Selective tree removals and proper pruning can also add light to areas of your yard that require more such as pools or gardens.
Tree Cabling
Trees frequently have stability issues for many reasons such as weak crotches, bad unions, rot, storm damage or just natural leaning. These structural deficiencies can cause major problems for your property. Cabling or Brace Rods can help to reinforce your trees stability without creating further harm to the tree. Once cables or rods are in place they will help prevent storm damage and promote healing of any wounds on the tree. The installation of Rods and Cables cannot be guaranteed to prevent a tree failure.
Tree Removals
While our main focus is on saving trees and promoting tree health, health concerns may create a reason for a trees’ removal. Situations such as root rot diseases, fungus, bacteria, foliar, weak growth form, and more can be potential reasons. Our Arborist can help explain these diseases and when it would be best to remove a tree. We complete the removal by using safe and highly technical climbing and rigging techniques that follow all ANSI z133 and a300 safety standards.
Hazardous Tree Removal
A tree is considered high risk if the targeted impact zone around the tree contains any life or property that could be damaged if the tree fell. Some examples of areas where a damaged tree can become a high risk around a home, swing set, sandbox, driveway, service lines, well, roof clearance etc. If you have a hazardous tree situation, please call an expert to have the tree or limb removed.
Storm Damage Removal
Inclement weather wreaks havoc on trees, which causes the need for emergency removal of broken or devastated trees due to icing or other forms of bad weather. Depending on the severity of the damage, pruning may also be an option to help save and restore the tree to good health. Our tree care experts will do what’s best to maintain the health of your trees.Tree Removal
Planting
A tree planted in the wrong place can lead to problems such as insects, diseases, potential property damage and/or poor growth. Let us suggest where a good planting location would be and plant your trees and shrubs for you. Taking the trees lifecycle into account, our team will discuss with you the positive and negatives of placement in various locations.
Cleaning
The crown of a tree needs to be cleaned out when there is damaged or diseased branches. Overcrowding is another reason for cleaning. Branches that rub can prevent proper growth and structure within a tree. This can also lead to long term issues like decay and eventually tree failure. Pruning can help correct this naturally occurring issue.
Thinning
The most common reason for thinning is to allow light penetration to the lower leaves or surrounding plants.
Raising
Low hanging branches can be removed to create clearance off of windows, roofs, playsets, etc.
Reduction
Although we want what is best for your trees, sometimes they need to be reduced to fit better within their surroundings. Service lines, roofs, windows and other trees are just some examples of when a reduction could be needed.
Promotion of Separation
Plants need adequate space and light to grow, by providing separation you not only have a clearly visible variety of species but you also create a healthy living space for each planting.
Pruning for Fruit Crop
Fruiting trees and shrubs need to be pruned at specific times to promote fruiting and new growth. Each species has a separate technique for a long healthy crop.
