What is a Certified Arborist and why should I hire one?
An Arborist is a specially trained professional who deals with the art and science of planting, caring, maintaining, and diagnosing trees, shrubberies, and other woody plant life. As professional arborists, we have a minimum of three years experience in some aspect of tree care and have passed an exam developed by an international panel of experts. The exam extensively covers every aspect of tree care and requires that we have an acceptable level of knowledge in all areas of arboriculture to properly and effectively manage the growth and development of trees.
What should I look for in a tree service company?
When choosing a tree service, you can consider things like:
Certification: Whether the company has ISA Certified Arborists
Insurance: Whether the company has insurance for personal and property damage, as well as workers' compensation
Reputation: Whether the company has positive reviews that mention reliability, professionalism, and quality
Estimates: Whether the company offers free, upfront estimates that are clear and detailed
What makes trees dangerous?
Trees that have structure defects that are unstable, or that have dangling or damaged branches are among the most dangerous trees. A large tree is not dangerous in and of itself-unless it poses a potential hazard due to damage, disease, injury, or instability. Trees may exhibit structural problems at the base or in the upper canopy, so a full inspection is necessary to truly gauge the potential risks your home or yard are exposed to. Our arborists are experts in identifying trees that pose a danger.
What's the difference between stump removal and stump grinding?
The best option for you will depend on what you would like to do with the area where the tree was.
If you want to plant another tree in the area, we recommend removing the stump (rather than grinding it). This will remove more of the root system from the old tree to make room for the new tree to grow. We do not do stump removal.
Stump grinding will allow you to plant grass and small plants in the area but does not remove as much of the old root system. As a result, we don't recommend planting a new tree in the same spot.
Do we spray trees with pesticides for insects?
No, we don’t believe in the use of pesticides to control insects in most cases. We feel that if your tree is healthy it can withstand an attack from common insects. We recommend maintaining your tree with regular pruning and fertilizing to keep it strong and healthy. However, in some cases the use of pesticides are necessary, and we can recommend a reputable tree service for you to contact.
Do you top trees?
Topping is no longer a recommended pruning method to cut a tree down in height, and is bad for many reasons. For one, it removes so much of the crown that it upsets an older tree’s well-developed crown-to-root ratio and temporarily cuts off its food-making ability also the large stub of a topped tree has a difficult time sealing, which makes it highly vulnerable to insect invasion and decay. Your estimator can discuss other methods of pruning to maintain a certain height, and to try to repair trees that have been damaged by topping.
When is the best time to prune a tree?
There are different times to prune different trees, for example, most flowering trees should be pruned after they bloom, and Maples can be pruned most times of the year. It is best to discuss pruning with the estimator because every tree is unique in its placement on your property and it’s condition.
How often should I fertilize my trees?
We recommend you deep-root fertilize your trees every 2 to 3 years. However, trees that are not in good health may need to be fertilized more frequently. To get more information on tree care, please contact us.
Is there anything I should consider when selecting a new tree?
Most definitely! Remember to think of surrounding plants, soil, region, and your commitment to caring for any new trees. Also keep in mind the immediate environment of underground and overhead utility cables, sidewalks and driveways. What is the purpose of a new tree—for shade, for privacy, for fruits, or for ornamental design?
Who is responsible for permits?
It's usually the property owner's responsibility to get any necessary permits, but the tree service can advise you on what you need and may be able to get them for a fee.
Can you come out to provide a Tree Health Consultation to see how my trees are doing and to see if they need pruning?
Yes, we send our arborists out to provide a verbal Tree Health Consultation where they will assess its condition and any potential hazards. If our arborist deems pruning or removal as a recommendation, we will waive the standard Tree Health Consultation fee and only charge for the work.
Will you come to my home to give me an estimate first?
Yes. We will come at no expense to see the tree first and provide you with a free estimate.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes! We are both licensed and insured.
