What Is The Best Time Of Year For Tree Service?

If you have a tree on your property that needs trimmed, you might think that summer or fall is the best time, when in reality, the best time to do this is winter. Depending on the type of tree (fruit trees, for example), major pruning work should be done during the winter to help maximize fruit production. When the leaves fall off the trees, the become dormant for the winter months. Why is it good to get them trimmed during this time?

Safety

When the leaves have fallen off the trees, it is easier for a certified arborist to identify dead or weak limbs and branches, which allows them to properly assess the work that needs done. Dead and diseased areas of the tree are also a danger when they get weighed down with snow and ice, which could potentially damage your home and property.

Prevents Damage to the Tree

Pruning before spring lets trees heal before they bud, whereas if done in the fall, new growth stimulated by a trimming would just damage the tree. Also, in the winter, disease will not as easily spread as it would when you have your tree trimmed in the spring and summer, because the bacteria and insects that spread the disease will also be dead or dormant.

Easier on your Landscaping/Property

When the ground is frozen in the winter, heavy equipment needed for a proper tree service can be brought in without doing a lot of damage to your landscaping, and also allows our crews to work faster, which is important for larger jobs.

If you’ve been putting off tree service, the winter may be the best time to go ahead and get it scheduled. Contact us for an estimate!

How Big of a Job Can We Handle, You Say?

Check out our spider lift here, we had to zoom way out to get the entire thing into the picture:

Here it is all folded up:

Why Hire A Snow Removal Company?

Whether you own a home or a business, when winter arrives, you will likely have snow to remove from your driveway, parking lot, or sidewalks. Not only does this maintain a clean look, but is also beneficial for people that are walking or driving to your location.

Shoveling snow and scraping ice off of driveways and walkways is time-consuming. Snow removal companies can handle this job much more quickly, as they have the tools needed to get snow and ice handled easily. They also are very adept at avoiding damage to your property. Landscaping can be damaged easily when trying to remove snow and ice, but snow removal companies are very good at avoiding the hard work that’s been put into that, as well as not harming concrete and pavement.

Hiring a professional snow removal company helps you avoid injury, as many back injuries are linked to trying to shovel snow, as well as heart and respiratory issues. Leaving snow removal to the pros makes sure no one gets hurt and snow and ice get removed quickly and efficiently.

This winter, leave snow and ice removal to the pros – give us a call to help you at your home or business!

Why Hire A Professional Leaf Removal Service?

As we get deeper into Fall, the leaves turn beautiful colors and the weather gets cooler. Sadly, that means the leaves are just getting ready to come down off of the Ohio trees. Raking and bagging an absurd number of leaves is certainly not the most fun way to spend the season, and hiring a professional landscaping company that specializes in leaf removal can save time and effort on your part.

If leaves are left for too long on the ground, they can become wet, matted, and harmful to the grass underneath them. Not only can they kill the grass by blocking oxygen and sunlight, but when they are wet, they can grow mold that can spread through your yard, causing a host of other problems. Also, there’s no better feeling than seeing your trees empty and your yard and landscaping leaf-free.

Professional leaf removal companies are able to remove the leaves from your yard quickly – the rake and lawn bag method might be tried and true for you from the past, but the pros have better tools and far more hands on deck to get the job done. Powerful blowers and leaf vacuums make quick work of the leaves in any size yard – not to mention, the convenience of not having to do the job yourself is nice as things start to get busy towards the end of the year, with holidays and business years winding down.

Save the back pain and hours spent in the yard (and possibly the cold!) and hire the pros to help. Give us a call today!

Can I Trim My Own Trees?

You’ve seen it before – a guy on an internet video cutting a tree limb that accidentally lands on his car or house.  You have a good laugh, and realize, “I really need to do something about that tree in the back yard. Surely I won’t have the same issues as that idiot!” So, it’s off to Home Depot or Lowe’s (or the tool place of your choice) to purchase or rent a chainsaw or pole pruner, and you’re all set to go, right?

There is a reason you never say, “how hard can it be?”  Inevitably, the answer to that question is “way harder than I thought.”  Aside from being hard work, it can be very time-consuming, and you can really do damage to the tree, your home, your car, and landscaping, not to mention yourself.  Professional tree services know the biology of trees so that they can properly prune your tree, they have state-of-the-art equipment to be able to do the job safely and successfully, and the best ones are certified arborists, which means they’ve had intensive training to make sure they are environmentally and safety conscious.

Professional tree trimming can come with a bit of sticker shock from a price standpoint, but here, you truly get what you pay for.  A cheap offer to trim your tree(s) will yield poor results, from an uneven, unsightly trim to doing irreparable damage to the tree, inviting insects and disease, which will result in the tree needing to be removed down the road (and costing even more.)  Pay a little more now for a certified arborist or pay a lot later – it’s worth it!

Does My Tree Need Trimmed Or Removed?

Tree care is very important for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which being the health of the tree and the effect it can have on the shade of your property.  A tree might look to be overgrown and you may be thinking that removal is the best option but it may just need trimmed by a certified arborist.  What is the best way to tell?

Tree Removal vs. Tree Trimming

If the tree is merely overgrown and not encroaching on your foundation or other landscaping, tree trimming is the better choice.  Proper trimming ensures your tree will remain healthy; simply chopping off branches and limbs can invite insects and disease, not to mention an uneven appearance.  This can also cause more growth and a need for increased pruning, which can shorten the life of the tree.

An improperly trimmed tree may then need to be removed if it has been infected with disease or insects.  In addition, if the tree is interfering with property structure like downspout drains, power lines or your home’s foundation, it may need removed.  Our team is very cognizant of the environment surrounding the tree and will safely perform the service required.

Our certified arborists have the knowledge and expertise of tree biology to be able to properly assess any tree on your property, and will be able to help you make an informed decision on whether tree removal or tree trimming is the right solution for you. Reach out today!
