An arborist is a person who is trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining individual trees. All arborists have distinguished themselves by obtaining an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certification. ISA certification provides a measurable assessment of knowledge and competence required to provide proper tree care.
Trees growing in urban areas are often stressed by compacted and nutrient-deficient soils, limited available rooting space, under or over-watering, competition with grass, and damage by humans. Trees in urban areas can also develop weakened structures that may lead to hazardous conditions. Without attention, these issues cause key trees to decline, fail, or die. Managing your plants with regular inspections, pruning, and fertilization with improve the health and vigor of your trees and reduce risk.
Deciding whether to save a favorite tree can be difficult. Trees often become part of the family and are associated with many happy memories. We enjoy working with our clients to try to save their key trees whenever it is advisable. Often, service such as pruning, cabling, bracing, fertilization, pest suppression, and root zone enhancement with help to reverse a tree’s decline. Sometimes, however, trees pose a serious hazard to people and property or are too far gone to save. We recommend removal in these situations.
The wood from most deciduous hardwoods such as oak, cherry, maple, and walnut does have some measurable value. In urban areas, a tree’s highest value is usually in lumber or firewood. Prices for these commodities vary based on the local market. Most tree companies are in the business to manage the trees in your urban environment and are not in the business of selling firewood or processing wood for lumber.
Yes. We use advanced rigging techniques and a crane (when possible).
Trees and shrubs decline for many different reasons, but many of them can be saved with proper diagnosis and treatments. Contact us today, and one of our arborists can meet with you to assess your tree’s situation and make recommendations to help improve the tree’s health.
A visual inspection by an ISA Certified Arborist can reveal obvious defects and hazardous situations. For a more in-depth analysis, we utilize climbing inspections and decay detection methods. These methods enable us to provide you with a report that will give you options to decide what you next step should be. The thing to remember is no tree is safe all we can do is mitigate the danger that they might pose.
