Trimming

Trimming entails improving the aesthetic value of your trees and maintaining a uniform design. This is typically done annually or twice a year, depending on the plant type. 

Pruning

Pruning is the selected removal of damaged, dead, diseased, non-productive, structurally unsound, or otherwise unwanted parts of a plant, such as branches, buds, or roots. 

Reasons to prune include:

• Prevent insect and decay organisms
• Avoid hazards from low hanging branches and growth forms
• Maintain a natural tree form
• Encourage healthy growth and flowering

Planting

Tree planting is a simple way to improve the look of your yard, but can offer other unforeseen benefits as well. Trees help improve our air quality, supply oxygen that we need to breathe, minimize storm water runoff to reduce corrosion and pollution, and provide food, shelter, and protection for many birds and mammals. An added bonus is that trees have the potential to increase your property value.

Removal

Deciding to remove a tree can be based on both aesthetic and safety issues. But what are good signs that your tree needs to be removed?

1. Excessive dead branches
2. Trunk damage
3. Sprouts protruding from the base of the tree
4. Unstable and leaning
5. Limited space around the tree for growth
6. Adjacent to power lines
7. Undesirable species

Stump Grinding
