Have Questions About Trees?
Caring for your trees and landscaping can be challenging, here are a few common questions we regularly encounter.
One of my trees suddenly looks sick - what is the problem?
Often time’s trees are stressed and in decline but don’t show any obvious signs until symptoms become visible to the naked eye. It is best to have our ISA Certified Arborist investigate to identify what the problem is and potential treatment if necessary. Not all issues require treatment and a professional can guide you to right solution.
I’m planning on doing some landscape renovations and am worried about my trees - can you help?
When executing a new landscape project, preparing a solid plan saves time and money. We regularly get calls after a landscape project is finished and trees start to show symptoms of stress, such as defoliation or a pest problem. These issues can be reduced or eliminated by having our Arborist visit your property prior to beginning your project. We will identify any potential conflicts that will affect tree health and offer practical solutions that can save your trees and money.
I had my trees pruned and they did poor job - what should I do?
Improper pruning is a serious problem that puts trees under stress which can lead to pest and disease problem and tree decline. Additionally, depending on what was done the trees; structural integrity may have been damaged which can lead to the trees becoming unsafe. It’s best to have the trees evaluated to assess the damage and overall impact of the poor pruning. We can then make recommendations on any action that can be taken short term and what to expect in the long term.
I have a large tree that is leaning and I’m worried might fall over - can you tell me if the tree is safe?
Trees can have a lean and it is not an immediate cause for concern, however some trees do present a risk. It is best to have the tree evaluated by our ISA Certified Arborist to determine if the tree does present a risk and what the level of risk is. We have the experience to determine what that level is (Acceptable, Moderate, High or Eminent) and can advise you so you can make an informed decision about what the best course of action is to protect your tree and property.
