Tree Installation and Establishment (Fertilization)
There are so many benefits to adding trees to a landscape. They contribute to the environment by taking carbon dioxide out of the air and pushing oxygen back out. Acting as a home for wildlife, you are sure to find birds and squirrels making their nest. As they grow to maturity they provide privacy and shade to your landscape, all while increasing property value. It is important to utilize a professional when you are considering the addition, as the needs of various species can be confusing. They will also need more maintenance at inception, like fertilization and watering to add immediate nutrients for growth. The process will be simplified when a professional is able to ensure success. Fertilization can also be handy throughout the life of the tree, pushing it through tough times.
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Once established, your tree still needs to be maintained. At least a couple times a year you will need to engage in trimming or pruning to remove unneeded foliage. Oftentimes foliage will begin to decay or die, due to a variety of potential causes. This could be caused by disease or pests, or damage sustained during a storm. Whatever the case, pruning prevents the spread of said decay and makes room for new growth. Trimming and pruning also allow you to shape the tree in the way you see fit, directing growth in a particular direction. Getting up in the tree to perform this task well is another service we think is best left to a certified arborist. Safety must always be prioritized, and tree care can be dangerous.
Tree Inspection and Treatment of Disease and Pest
As we mentioned before, the reasoning for pruning is often to remove decayed foliage resulting from disease or pests. The key to knowing when the time comes to do so is to routinely inspect your tree. The earlier that these issues are caught, the more likely they will be treatable. An arborist should perform these inspections as they will be best equipped to properly identify the issue, and diagnose treatment. The treatment itself should also be left to the professionals, as playing with fungicides and insecticides can be dangerous if not taken seriously.
