If you’re lucky enough to have a tree or two (or more!) in your yard, then you should be taking good care of your trees. For some of the little, day-to-day care, you can take care of it yourself. But for the bigger, more technical tasks, you should work with a professional tree service. Ever wonder what a tree service can do for you and your trees?
1. Trimming and pruning
Thinning, or pruning, trees is a big part of our job. Knowing WHAT to trim to promote the health of your trees is something it takes years to learn to do properly. Understanding the growth patterns of different species of tree, knowing how to determine whether a tree is suffering from infection and disease, and predicting expansion patterns — these are all subjects that we learn, as a tree service company, with every tree we help.
2. Planting new trees
Having a tree service plant your new trees for you can help young trees to thrive. No matter whether you want to transplant a deciduous tree or start off with a baby sapling, we can help you gauge the sun patterns, water access and available space. This makes sure that new trees are fed well enough to grow, as well as making sure that the new planting does not negatively impact the health of your existing plants and trees. We also have the equipment that makes the planting job go quickly and smoothly. A tree care company can do in a few hours what might take you a month to take care of on your own.
3. Removing stumps
Cutting down a tree that needs to be removed is the easy part. Removing the stump and the entire root system? THAT is the challenge. When you hire a tree service, we know how to clear away all remnants of the dead tree. This way, your grass and other greenery can thrive, without the tangle of dead roots preventing new growth and blocking access to nutrients or a leftover stump posing a tripping hazard and attracting pests. Your tree service company can use a stump grinder so that you don’t have to buy one yourself.
4. Removing trees
Knowing which trees need to be removed, and when, helps keep your yard healthy and vibrant. If and when you decide to remove a tree, we can use the necessary machinery to make sure that no damage happens to other trees, fences, or your home or other structures. If you have a tall, old-growth tree that has reached the end of its life, we must take every precaution to make sure the removal is clean and safe. Let the fully insured, fully equipped arborists do the dangerous tree removal work so you don’t have to worry.
5. Emergency tree removal
If a big thunderstorm knocks a tree over, or shears off a big branch, then you need to act fast. (If there is any interference with or involvement in power lines, then your first call should be to the power company. Never approach downed or drooping power lines, even if you think the lines are not live.) Thankfully, Tree Images offers tree services 24/7 in case of emergencies.
6. Assessing tree health
Tree services often employ “tree surgeons”. This name is not an exaggeration — these arborists are experts at diagnosing tree health, and can advise you on the smartest steps to ensure long lives for your trees. A professional, local tree service like Tree Images can assess the health of every tree in your yard, and can help you take strategic steps to make your trees grow and develop in exactly the way you would like most. The tree doctors at Tree Images know how to make quick and thorough diagnoses of any problems with your trees, and then we’ll know how to take care of things.
Whatever your trees need, your local tree service company is there for you and for them. Here in Cincinnati, all of us here at Tree Images are ready and waiting to help you to care for your trees now and into the future. Give us a call to learn more about what we can do for you and your trees.
