Range Of Tree Services Available To You

31 August 2015 by Julius Manninen

A common misconception that homeowners have is that arboriculturists only offer tree felling as their main service. The truth though is that there are range of other services you can opt for other than tree removals. If you live in a community, you will find that there are multiple issues that you may face with your trees. These range from them overgrowing to perhaps having to replace a tree in the event that you felled it to facilitate construction on your property. Here are some of the tree services that are available to you.

Tree removals

This is one of the most common reason why you would require tree services. There are several reasons why one may require tree removals. For one, the tree could begin branching out to the neighbourhood's electric wires and his could cause interference to everyone in that community. Another reason for tree removals is if the tree is located in close proximity to your property, which could lead to damage if there happens to be a storm or an earthquake. In these instances, it is better off to opt for the complete removal of the tree rather than constantly having to prune it.

Tree surgery

Tree surgery is carried out on trees that are either diseased or have acquired some form of damage. Tree surgery is conducted in order to save the tree rather than have to uproot it altogether. Since these are living plants, they are prone to pest infestations, fungal infections and a myriad of other diseases that could compromise the integrity of the entire tree if left unchecked. When performing tree surgery, the arboricultrurist will get rid of any infected branches. They will also eliminate damaged parts of the trunk. They may also apply treatments to infected parts of the tree without having to necessarily cut them off.

Tree pruning

Pruning or tree lopping refers to cutting away parts of the tree either due to them being disease infected or being overgrown. Various advantages come with tree pruning. Not only does it curb the spread of disease, but it also ensures that any offending branches that are overgrown are eliminated. Tree pruning also increases the amount of sunlight that penetrates the tree, thus keeping your yard well illuminated while ensuring that your tree is getting a healthy dose of sunlight.

Tree stumping

This refers to the removal of stumps from your property left behind from trees that have already been felled. The arboriculturists can do this either through grinding the stump or uprooting it altogether. Tree stumping is typically required if you would like to undertake some landscaping on your property and need level ground.
