Will you remove all debris after work is completed?
Of course, we will remove all debris after our work is completed! We do give our clients the option to leave debris if they would like to save money.
How often should my trees be trimmed?
Trees need to be pruned at a young stage to help insure proper and sturdy growth patterns. We recommend that tree trimming starts around 5 or 10 years of age.
As the tree ages it will need to continue to be pruned for dead wood. Trimming the dead wood off the tree will make the tree safe. The branch tips will be lighter which is ideal for the winter months because snow and wind loads.

How does cabling and bracing work?
The installation of cables and bracing is preformed by arborists to help protect or improve the structural integrity of trees. This technique is used when the tree has grown in a way that has resulted in the tree no longer being able to support its own weight.
More specifically, cabling a tree refers to a cable spliced between eye bolts that are drilled through a tree's main leaders to help hold it together. Generally this is used with trees that have poor crotches.
