Tree Pruning

During the pruning process we carefully remove dead branches, open the canopy to increase light and air (remember, fungus loves a shaded environment), improve the tree’s structure and thoughtfully trim meddlesome branches that are too close to your house, service wires or hanging below the legal street and sidewalk clearance. And if you want your view back, don’t feel bad. We can usually find a solution that you and your tree will be happy with.

Tree Removal

Unfortunately there are times when you’re left with no choice but to have a tree removed. In such a case, once the tree has been removed it should look like we were never there and neither was the tree. Additionally, we can grind out stumps and do crane removals for dead and hazardous trees.

Tree Mulching

Tree mulching is great for trees. Based on the type of tree, we’ll decide which mulch will benefit most. The goal with tree mulching is to reduce soil compaction, retain moisture and eventually provide a new food source for the tree.

Brush Chipping

If you have brush, I have a chipper. We’ll charge an hourly rate for brush chipping and leave the chips for garden mulch, it’s the best, bar none.

Hedge Trimming

The best time to trim hedges is in April (before the growing season) and August (just after growing’s done).

Deep Root Fertlilzation

We use beneficial bacteria and natural bio-stimulants in our deep root fertilization, we’ll help your tree generate new root growth in the dormant stage. Deep root fertilization will also help aerate the soil and provide deep watering for the tree. Spring is a good time for deep root fertilizing as this will improve tip elongation and leaf color.

Tree Consultations

When providing a tree consultation we carefully evaluate the health of the tree, identify any problems and suggest a remedy. We also provide written reports for construction trauma, developers, tort cases, and more.

Tree Inventories

When we’re through conducting a tree inventory, you’ll know exactly what you have. We’ll identify the species and classification and measure the diameter of your trees.

Tree Rentention Plans

When conducting a tree retention plan we take a look at your trees and decide which ones stay and which ones go. We’ll preserve what we can, remove the diseased and hazardous ones and call out replacement trees that are site-specific.

Arboriculture Research

Our first step in conducting arboricultural research is to discuss your questions, concerns and needs. From there, we can suggest a tree for a specific location, test soil, recommend fertilizers, or anything else you need.
