Tree Health Assessments

General summary of site/property assessment, site map plotting each tree, table matching site map specifying tree type, condition/health of tree, recommendations (structural pruning, deadwood, clearance from buildings, trimming, disease prevention and treatment, watering, deep root injections, removal, stump grinding), and a 3-year Tree Care Proposal.

Structural Prunning

To ensure proper growth and avoid any serious issues, our arborist will: Remove any branches that are causing stress (removing disease), remove any branches that are crowding or crossing that cause abnormal growth patterns. This service encourages healthy growth and prevents diseases.

Pruning/Hedging

Involves the meticulous trimming and shaping of trees, shrubs, and hedges to enhance their health, appearance, and functionality. These services are essential for maintaining landscape aesthetics, promoting plant vigor, and managing plant growth in a controlled manner.

Dead Wooding

To improve the growth quality and appearance, our arborist will: Remove dead branches to increase flow of nutrients, reduce hazards such as unpredictable falling limbs, reduce or remove unwanted eyesores.

Clearance

To reduce property damage and avoid city infringements our arborist will: clear tree/shrubs away from houses, buildings, walkways and driveways. Our team will ensure the clearance is within the city regulations while maintaining your preferred aesthetic as much as possible.

Ornamental Shaping

To look clean and appealing through symmetry and ensure healthy growth, our arborist will: Shape tree/shrub to maintain ideal shape and size for the according outdoor space and reduce stress on over-extended branches by cutting them to comply with city regulations and requirements. Each type of tree or shrub is different. Our team will discuss in advance what to expect with this service in terms of aesthetics.

Tree Removal

Our arborist can consult as to when to remove your tree or shrub if it is: Dead, hazardous or destruction of property has occurred, diseased, eye sores or other landscaping needs. Removals are to grade. Stump grinding is a separate service.

Stump Grinding

When a tree is removed, you can also request to remove the stump. This will: reduce tripping hazards, increase the soil nutrients, create space for a replacement tree/shrub.

Planting Trees/Shrubs & Planting Advice

When looking to plant a new tree or shrub, we can provide an assessment of the area and current conditions. A professional recommendation will be made to optimize tree/shrub success.

Disease Diagnosis/Prevention & Treatment

Disease Prevention and Treatment Based on the arborist assessment, specific treatments for infected trees/shrubs will be identified. This is to control pests such as oyster-shell scale and decrease the chance of spreading to other trees in the area.

Storm Clean-Up & Emergency Tree Services

Services may include tree assessment and damage evaluation, emergency tree removal, tree debris removal and disposal, structural support and tree stabilization, emergency response coordination, tree safety assessment and risk mitigation, and post-event restoration and rehabilitation for the tree.

Cable Bracing & Support

When assessed, the arborist may install a cable brace, or bolting to maintain structural safety or to preserve the tree. By placing a cable in the upper canopy, we can: Mitigate hazards in co-dominant trees (trees where the main stem splits into two tops), reduces or reallocates stress on already weakened junction points, decrease the risk of potential damage during severe weather conditions.

Deep Root Injection/Fertilization

Want to boost your tree or shrub health all season? This treatment involves loosening the root system of the tree with a pressurized fertilization system which: Increases nutrients to the root hairs encouraging growth, improves water absorption improving overall health of the tree/shrub. This service works best when done twice a year. In spring, to boost the tree's health in our growing season and again in fall to give the tree nutrients before winter.
