Tree climbing sounds risky, what’s involved?
Tree climbing is always a high risk job and is only exercised as a last option. Our priority is to execute the job in the safest and most efficient manner possible. All jobs start with a tailboard discussion. This allows everyone involved to be part of the plan and understand the job fully. We have invested in equipment that is mobile and can fit in most back yards with minimal impact to your lawn as an alternative to climbing. Sometimes the deployment of a crane is needed to execute a job safely.
I have heard that topping a tree can be harmful.
Topping a tree is an unacceptable industry practice. There are many reasons why a tree should not be topped. Some of these reasons include tree stress, decay and indefinite risks.
Is mulching trees beneficial?
Yes, mulching your trees is very beneficial. Some benefits of mulching include increased soil moisture, protects and insulates roots from extreme temperatures, helps to minimize weed growth, reduces the damage of trees from lawn equipment, returns nutrients back into the soil through decomposition, and lastly mulching can give your property a well-cared for look.
