Insect & Disease Control

 

An Arborist can efficiently perform tasks necessary to improve or maintain the health, safety and appearance of your trees. Trees that are not pruned regularly will develop weaker, unsightly limbs and branches. Also, Working with large trees can be very dangerous especially if you don’t have all the proper equipment and experience required for the job. Felling large trees unsafely can result in serious injury to people or damage to property. Most importantly, Arborists know what not to do to trees. They can offer valuable advice as you plan your entire landscape because they are specifically trained to work with individual trees. Caring for the trees in your yard can be a very big job and you may find that hiring an Arborist will save you time and money.

Help Your Trees Stay Healthy and Strong Through Regular Pruning.

Beautiful backyard landscapes, if not maintained, can develop many problems over time. Trees that are left to grow without pruning will become over-crowded with dead and crossing branches or they may grow into nearby structures such as your house, garage, fence, power lines, etc. When wind pushes against your tree, it’s limbs and branches will move great distances to avoid the full force of powerful wind gusts. Healthy limbs and branches are very strong and flexible in high winds, however, branches that rub against other branches in the wind, cannot develop properly and will break under ordinary stress conditions. Even large tree limbs can snap due to lack of tree maintenance, falling on nearby people or property. Branches that rub against your house, quickly destroy eaves troughs, shingles, and shatter windows. Out-of-control branches may even snap utility service wires. Arborists can help keep your trees healthy and strong for many years so you and your family will be safe. Regular tree pruning is how:

Prevent The Spread of Insects and Disease. – Tree diseases thrive in dead decaying wood. Small, dead branches, if not removed, are the perfect place for fungi and other tree diseases to grow and spread into the rest of your tree. As diseases spread, larger sections of your tree will die and the disease will spread faster. Have your Arborist regularly remove all dead and dying branches from your trees to prevent the spread of disease.
Arborists Get Your Trees To Absorb More Sunlight. – Over time dead branches build up inside the crown of your trees. Once a branch is dead it will take up valuable space and cast a shadow over other parts of your tree. As more and more dead branches accumulate, less and less direct sunlight will reach the living parts of your tree. As a result, your tree will expand outward and upward at a greater rate in order to get the sunlight it needs to survive. This kind of rapid growth is bad for two reasons. First, major limbs will grow long and skinny and may not be strong enough to support the weight of all their leaf-bearing branches that develop on top where sunlight is accessible. Second, your tree’s rapid expansion will cause it to fill it’s allotted space much sooner than normal resulting in crowded, overgrown trees in your landscape that will need to be removed. After Arborists remove all the dead branches from trees, more direct sunlight is able to reach all parts of them resulting in the proper development of major limbs and a much slower overall growth rate.

Arborists Keep Your Trees Beautifully Shaped to Benefit You and Your Community. – The money you spend on regular Arborist visits is an investment that offers substantial returns. Great looking, healthy trees increase property value and ugly, unhealthy trees decrease property value. As your landscape matures over the years, the amount of care put into it will be easily noticeable by everyone who sees it whether they know anything about trees or not. The easiest way to get your trees working for you to increase your property value is to hire an Arborist.

Trees Get Big, Very Big.

Without regular pruning to keep your trees the height and shape that best suits your landscaping ideas, trees can get out of control before you know it. In most tree removal cases the story is always the same. Homeowners talk about how small their trees were when they planted them. The only problem is they were planted 20-30 years ago and they’ve been growing taller each year! Overgrown trees can brake in high winds usually dropping large sections to the ground, so when trees outgrow their surroundings they become a liability and must be removed. Other reasons Arborists may remove trees are:

Dead or Dying. – If dead trees are left standing, over time they will decay and become less stable. The longer they are left to decay, the less stable they become and the harder they are to remove safely. Unstable trees can multiply the cost of removal if large cranes and equipment need to be used in order to do the work safely. In order to keep the cost of removing dead trees at its lowest possible, a good idea is to have them removed sooner rather than later.

Severely Damaged Beyond Repair. – Sometimes storms and high winds will cause main tree trunks to split or brake. Other times vehicles may crash into trees or weaker trees may fall on other trees and cause a great deal of damage. Severe injuries can either ruin a tree’s structural integrity making it unlikely to support the weight of limbs and branches above the point of injury, or kill the tree entirely. Allied Tree Experts can determine the severity of tree injuries if your tree is ever damaged. Then you can make better decisions regarding the future of your tree.
Planted Too Close and Causing Damage to a Foundation, Sewer line, or Building Structure. – Some due diligence, such as checking the location of buried utility lines, should be done to decide the best location before you plant a tree. Trees that are planted in poor locations quickly become a threat to surrounding structures and will have to be removed in order to prevent any major damage to property. Consult an Arborist for the best location to plant your trees.

New Construction. – Sometimes Arborists remove trees to make way for new buildings. Removal of large trees near your home is dangerous work and should not be attempted by anyone poorly equipped. You need all the proper tools and experience to complete the job safely. Furthermore, a notch and back-cut will not work in every situation. Arborists know many different ways to safely remove dangerous trees because all trees have different shapes and surroundings. Experienced Arborists make educated decisions in order to remove hazardous trees safely.

Consult Allied Tree Experts When You Plan Your Landscape.

If you fail to plan, your plant may fail! Arborists can help you choose more appropriate tree species for the type of environment they will be planted in. Some questions that should be considered are:

How much direct sunlight does the area receive?
Will your new tree have to compete with larger trees in the area for food, water, and sunlight? If so, can you supplement resources to meet the needs of your tree?
Is the area big enough for the tree? If not, when and how much tree pruning is required to comfortably train it to be the size and shape you want it?

Choosing the right tree species and style of pruning that best fits into your landscape will prevent many problems down the road. Growing beautiful trees with the help of an Arborist is easy! Save your time and money, hire an Arborist.
