What Can an Arborist Do?

An arborist is a trained professional who specializes in tree care. Unlike general landscapers, arborists are skilled in diagnosing tree health, recommending proper treatments, and safely performing services like pruning or removal. When properly cared for, trees can live for decades, and neglecting their needs can damage property or pose safety risks. Arborists ensure your trees are healthy and your landscape remains safe and beautiful.

How Can You Tell if a Tree Isn’t Healthy?

There are a few signs that a tree might be unhealthy or stressed.

Look for:

• Leaves that are discolored, wilted, or dropping prematurely
• Dead branches, often called “widow-makers,” that pose a hazard
• Fungal growth, such as mushrooms, near the tree’s base
• Bark that is peeling, cracking, or showing cavities
• Leaning trees or exposed roots

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to contact our arborists immediately. We can assess the tree’s condition, determine the underlying cause, and provide recommendations for treatment or removal if necessary.

Why Do Arborists Cut Down Trees?

Sometimes, we have to cut down trees because it’s the safest or best option for the property and the surrounding environment. A tree might be dead, dying, or so sick that it can’t recover, making it a safety hazard if it falls. Other times, a tree’s roots might damage structures like sidewalks or foundations or grow too close to power lines. Whatever the reason, we always aim to make the best decision for you, your tree, and your property.

What Is Tree Cabling and Bracing?

Tree cabling and bracing are techniques that arborists use to support or stabilize weak or damaged trees. Cables are installed high in the tree’s canopy, connecting two or more branches to help distribute weight and reduce stress on the weaker limbs. Braces, usually made of steel rods, reinforce split trunks or forks in a tree. These methods can help prevent further damage and extend the life of a tree.

Can Tree Cabling Services Save Weak Limbs?

Tree cabling is a great way to give extra support to large branches or weak spots in a tree without having to cut them off. It involves using strong, flexible cables to stabilize these areas, helping the tree stay safe and sturdy during strong winds or heavy snow. By reinforcing weak limbs, cabling allows the tree to stay intact and continue growing naturally while also reducing the risk of branches breaking and causing damage.

What Is Included in Tree Hazard Assessments?

Tree hazard assessments identify risks, such as weak limbs, trunk decay, or root instability. The goal is to prevent accidents before they happen through careful observation and planning.

A professional tree hazard assessment often includes:

• Branch stability checks: Identifying weak or cracked limbs that may fall
• Trunk condition review: Looking for cavities, decay, or fungal growth
• Root zone inspection: Evaluating soil health and root strength for stability
• Canopy balance assessment: Checking weight distribution to prevent tipping
• Environmental impact review: Considering wind exposure, soil moisture, and surrounding structures

With these insights, we can recommend whether your tree needs pruning, bracing, or removal to keep your property safe.

What Role Does Tree Health Care Play in Longevity?

Tree health care combines soil management, disease treatment, and routine inspections to extend the life of your trees.

Key aspects of tree health care include:

• Soil care: Testing and improving soil so roots get proper nutrients
• Pest control: Identifying and managing insects before they spread
• Disease prevention: Treating fungal and bacterial issues early
• Pruning for strength: Removing weak branches to encourage healthy growth
• Root and water management: Protecting roots from damage and ensuring proper hydration

Together, these practices create a proactive care plan that strengthens trees against stress, weather, and age.

Why Are Tree Root Systems Important for Stability?

Tree root systems keep the tree stable while also providing it with the water and nutrients it needs to grow. However, if the roots become compacted, damaged, or unhealthy, the tree can start to weaken and lose stability. Our arborists can check the health of your tree’s roots and offer solutions like improving soil aeration, adding mulch, or carefully pruning the roots to help the tree regain its strength and balance.

How Do Tree Fertilization Treatments Support Growth?

Trees sometimes need a little extra help to grow strong and healthy, especially if the soil doesn’t have all the nutrients they need. Our fertilization treatments are designed to give trees the boost they need by delivering essential nutrients directly to the root zone. This process helps strengthen the roots, improves the overall health of the tree, and promotes better growth. With regular fertilization, your trees can thrive and stay lush and vibrant all year long.

How Do Tree Growth Regulators Support Urban Landscapes?

Tree growth regulators are special treatments that help manage how trees grow. They work by slowing down excessive growth in the branches while encouraging stronger root systems. This is important because it means the trees can stay healthier and fit better in their spaces without needing constant trimming.
