Frequently Asked Questions

How often do trees need care and servicing?

The type and frequency of tree care depend on the species, age, location, climate, and other factors that affect the tree’s growth. The first step is to educate yourself about your trees and understand their needs. It is imperative to understand that proper tree care is a lifelong process and that planting and caring for a tree is a long-term commitment, not just a one-time deal.

Why hire a certified arborist?

Certified arborists are individuals who have achieved a level of knowledge in the art and science of tree care through experience and by passing a comprehensive examination developed by some of the nation’s leading experts on tree care. Certified arborists must also continue their education to maintain their certification and adhere to a Code of Ethics. Therefore, they are more likely to be up to date on the latest techniques in arboriculture.

Does having trees serviced add value to a property?

Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property.
Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Trees increase in value from the time they are planted until they mature.
Trees are a wise investment of funds because landscaped homes are more valuable than non-landscaped homes.
The savings in energy costs and the increase in property value directly benefit each homeowner.

Are my trees hazardous?

It is an owner's responsibility to provide for the safety of trees on his or her property. However, evaluating the seriousness of these defects is best done by a professional arborist. Regular tree care will help identify hazardous trees and the risks they present.
Once the hazard is recognized, steps may be taken to reduce the likelihood of the tree falling and injuring someone.
Trees that fall into utility lines have additional serious consequences. Not only can they injure people or property near the line, but hitting a line may cause power outages, surges, fires, and other damage.
Downed lines still conducting electricity are especially dangerous. A tree with the potential to fall into a utility line is a very serious situation.

What is topping and how does it affect my trees?

Topping is the indiscriminate cutting of tree branches to stubs or lateral branches that are not large enough to assume the terminal role.
Topping is perhaps the most harmful tree pruning practice known. It's usually done to reduce the size of a tree.
Often, homeowners top their trees because they feel that they have become too large for their property and are a hazard. However, topping will make a tree more hazardous in the long term and is very harmful to the health of a tree.
