An arborist is a trained professional specializing in the care, maintenance, and study of trees and other woody plants. Arborists possess expertise in tree biology, identification, planting, pruning, and the diagnosis and treatment of tree diseases and pests. They are skilled in assessing the health and structural integrity of trees, providing recommendations for their care and management. Arborists often work to promote the safety, health, and aesthetics of trees in urban and natural environments, using their knowledge to ensure trees thrive and contribute positively to their surroundings.
Deciding whether to save a tree depends on several factors that our tree care experts consider carefully. We assess the tree's health, structural integrity, location, and the extent of any issues such as disease, pests, or damage. Our goal is always to preserve trees when possible, as they provide numerous environmental, aesthetic, and economic benefits. We provide thorough evaluations and expert recommendations to help you make an informed decision. In some cases, proactive care like pruning or disease management can extend a tree's life and improve its health. However, if a tree poses significant safety risks or is severely compromised, removal might be necessary. Our team is dedicated to offering transparent advice tailored to your specific situation, ensuring the best outcome for your landscape and safety concerns.
Identifying potential hazards in trees requires careful observation and sometimes professional assessment. Look for signs such as large dead branches, cracks or splits in the trunk or major limbs, fungal growths like mushrooms at the base of the tree, or noticeable leaning. Additionally, inspect for signs of decay or cavities in the trunk, which can weaken the tree's structure. If you notice these indicators, it's important to consult with a certified arborist who can conduct a thorough evaluation. They'll assess the tree's health, structural integrity, and surrounding environment to determine if any corrective actions are needed to mitigate hazards and ensure your safety and the health of the tree.
The best time to prune your tree depends on the species and the specific goals of pruning. Generally, for most trees, the ideal time for routine pruning is during late winter to early spring, while the tree is dormant. This period, before new growth begins, allows for optimal healing and reduced stress on the tree. Additionally, pruning during dormancy helps to avoid the potential spread of diseases that may occur during active growing seasons.
