Tree Care Services:
Hazardous Tree Removal
Hazardous trees can be easily identified when they are dead, but more subtle hazards do exist and should be identified by a Certified Arborist. These trees often require additional levels of care and skill to safely remove and without damage to the home owner's property.
Crane Tree Removal
Crane Tree Removals are necessary part of three care and can be the safest ( both for the climber and client's property) and lowest impact way to remove a tree/trees from a piece of land.
Dead wood removal
The removal of deadwood can be beneficial for both human and structural safety. Deadwooding reduces the risk of being struck by a falling limb and is also beneficial for the structural safety of your home and items of value on your property.
Technical Removals
Over Valuables
Technical removals are defined as any removal that needs to incorporate one to multiple ropes and multiple pieces of rigging equipment to safely and effective take apart a tree without damaging the valuable property beneath the three. Example: home, landscape, other trees, etc.
Canopy Reductions
A canopy reduction can be a valuable practice in which an arborist will prune a tree to reduce its overall size. This can be done to reduce the load on an aging tree, it can also be done to allow a tree that is beginning to outgrow its pace and to be retained.
Structural Pruning
Structural pruning is done to trees as all stages of their life cycle and is beneficial to promote health and long term growth forms or patterns, This is specially beneficial for immature trees or threes that have been planted on a property.
House Clearance
House Clearance is an important part of tree care. Not only is it important for the safety of your home, but it is also important for the health and long term retention of the trees around your home.
Root Collar Excavation
Root Collar excavation is done by using a device called an air spade, or air knife along with a large air compressor to remove compacted soil from root collar (or exposed roots of trees). This is often necessary after new home builds and regrading of a piece of land. The root collar of a tree is never meant to be buried and when it is, the tree will suffer and will often develop some level of decay.
Pre - Purchase Tree Health and Safety Assessment
A pre-purchase inspection can help identify concerns and future maintenance needs prior to closing. This can be valuable to help a new homeowner identify future expenses and potentially ask for money off the final home purchase price prior to closing.
Pre - Construction Consultation
A pre construction consultation is an often overlooked and valuable step in retaining as much of the natural landscape and beauty of a piece of land. We have removed many trees that are intentionally left as a valuable part of the landscape which ultimately die due to construction damage, or stress. It is important to have a consultation and come up with a plan well before bringing in graders and other pieces of heavy equipment to break ground and on a new build.
Soil Amendment
Soil Amendment can be an important addition to any tree care plan. Most urban trees do not get enough nutrients due to their (growing) location. While our cultural practice of keeping a yard clean of leaves and small sticks is aesthetically pleasing, it often disrupts their natural occurring soil enhancing process. For this reason it can be important to reintroduce valuable nutrients through, compost tea, leaf mulch, and other organic materials.

Pests Management
Pest management is defined as a system for preventing and controlling pests to reduce their harm to the environment by using a combination of methods, biological and chemical controls. This is important for trees and shrubs because in our environment there are various pests that can negatively affect them.
Ex: woolly adelgid, emerald ash borer, spotted lantern fly, etc.
It is important to treat infestations when they are recognized and before they begin to harm the health of their host.
