Pruning To Keep Your Tree Healthy
One of the most popular services offered by an arborist is tree pruning. This involves cutting back excessive tree growth and removing dead and sickly branches and twigs. It also involves helping a tree maintain a nice shape and appearance. Without proper and constant pruning a tree will literally grow all over your property and expand wherever it can.
Pruning helps keep trees healthy by allowing them to focus their energy on the healthy parts. It also helps prevent disease from spreading from one branch to the rest of the tree or other trees. Tree pruning also helps maintain a size that is manageable and appropriate for your property.
Dead and diseased branches are hazardous because they can fall and injure someone. Loose branches near property can damage buildings. Pruning gets rid of loose and sick branches that can become hazards.
Disease Management And Pest Control
When you have an outbreak of a disease or a pest infestation, your best bet is to go to an arborist. They are experts in determining the solution to a disease or pest that you may have. For example they might say that a tree may be saved if the diseased parts of the branches are simply cut off. For pests, a treatment may require the application of special controlled pesticides that only a licensed arborist can apply to the tree.
Aeration, Drainage And Fertilization
Aeration refers to circulation. The soil must be properly aerated to allow water to seep into the soil and nutrients to mix in. Poorly aerated soil can become waterlogged. Waterlogged soil attracts pests that can attack your trees. Poorly drained soil is also more susceptible to fungal infection and plant diseases. An arborist can help you come up with an aeration and drainage plan for your soil so that your land does not become waterlogged.
Not only must your soil be well ventilated and have good drainage, it must also be fertilized to promote healthy and vigorous growth. An arborist knows just how much fertilizer a tree needs to grow healthy and be resistant to disease. They can suggest what kind of fertilizer to use, how much should be used and how frequently to fertilize.
Stump Grinding And Tree Removal
The safest and most effective way to remove trees that have died or become sickly is with the assistance of an arborist. They can use special stump grinding equipment to grind away stumps on your property. When an entire tree needs to be removed arborists can use special heavy equipment to cut and remove trees from your property with minimal disturbance to your environment.
