What You Need to Know About Preventative Tree Care

In this article, we’ll explain more about what we can do to prevent your trees from becoming unhealthy or causing damage to your property.

  • Trimming – Tree trimming, also known as pruning, is just one of our many preventative tree care services. Our team will examine the growth structure of your tree to identify weak branches, then remove those branches. This prevents tree limbs from snapping off during severe weather so that they don’t damage your property. It also helps the tree grow in a stronger, more durable structure so it can weather storms and remain healthy for years to come.
  • Pest Control – Another useful step in preventative tree care is pest control. There are many insects which damage trees, such as the emerald ash borer beetle. Arborists can examine your trees for signs of insect damage and apply pesticides to protect the tree from these insects.
  • Fertilization – A third type of preventative tree care involves fertilization. Sometimes, trees can’t get enough nutrients from the soil, which affects the growth of their root systems, the trunk, and their limbs. Adding fertilizer to a tree’s soil can help encourage dense, deep root growth, which helps the tree stand strong.
