Trees -- you can find them almost anywhere that you find people. They provide us with food, building materials, and even medicines that we use on a daily basis. The only problem with trees is that, unlike a dog or cat, they're not exactly domesticated. A tree will sprout wherever its seed lands and grow until something stops it. Fortunately, many humans across our beautiful world have entered into the area of expertise we call 'tree removal services'.
Tree services are best known for their most-requested function: removing trees that have become dangerous in some way. They're professionals at this task, able to do it quickly, safely, and efficiently. They can remove all or part of a tree, and they have the license, insurance, and bonding that they need to minimize the risk to the people that hire them.
However, there is quite a bit more to tree care services than just getting rid of trees (and tree corpses) that pose an immediate danger. In an ideal world, you would want your trees to live long and healthy lives and not ever become diseased or dangerous to your property -- and tree services can help a lot toward accomplishing this goal.
Step One: Before Planting
The first thing you can do to ensure your trees' maximum health and longevity is to plant them in the right place, and in the right way. Every species of tree has its own needs in terms of space from other plants, space from other specific trees, soil type preferences, ground moisture, and so on. They also need a varying amount of space for their eventual root networks. A tree service knows (or knows where to look up) every species of tree that can survive in their service area, and can help you plant for maximum health.
Step Two: Life
To keep a tree healthy and vital, you need three essential ingredients: proper pruning, proper nutrients, and pest control. Pruning eliminates branches that are wasting the tree's resources. Nutrients are vital for any living creature. And the biggest danger to an otherwise healthy tree is a disease or a parasite getting into its flesh. Tree services can help you put together a plan to perform all of these maintenance items each season -- or they can simply do it themselves.
Step Three: When the Tree Dies
Whether due to old age, disease, or natural disaster, every tree will die sooner or later. When that sad day arrives, it will be time to get rid of the tree's corpse in a quiet and efficient manner -- before it becomes a threat to your life or property. Regardless of the size, which way it leans, or how crowded the trees are on your property, a reputable tree care service will possess the proper equipment and know -how for the job.
No matter what stage your trees are in, there's something that qualified tree services can do to help it get -- and stay -- healthy and strong for as long as it can. We encourage everyone with a tree on their property to have it inspected once a year -- and anyone with an orchard or other income-oriented tree farm to have a professional look it over once each season. The tree you save may be your own!
