Tree Removal – There are times when trees need to be removed. They could be dead, dying, causing damage to a foundation, raising a driveway or simply got too big for your landscaping. Whatever the case may be, there are many factors we need to consider before we start cutting. Location of the tree being the first. Is the tree close to utility lines, are there structures underneath it and close, can we get the equipment we need to the tree? All of these factors and more will be discussed by one of our experts during your free estimate.
Tree removal, either by use of a bucket truck or a skilled arborist climbing the tree, includes bringing the tree down to ground level with the option to remove the stump. The customer then has the option to plant a new tree or cover the area with any type of landscaping. Remember, there is no tree too big, too small or too challenging for us to handle. We tackle the jobs other companies won’t!

Tree/Shrub Maintenance – Timing the treatment of your trees is everything when it comes to keeping them healthy and full of vigor. Different insects develop during various times of the year, and it’s important to treat for them when they are most vulnerable. Most plans include an early spring, mid summer and late summer application. Horticultural oils are used in the fall and are very effective against insects that overwinter on the branches.

Tree Protection – If you have beautiful landscaping let us keep it looking the way its was meant to look! This may include trimming shrubs to keep them a desired shape and from overgrowing. It also includes all the trees in the area. If they are ornamental trees, it is recommended to trim them at least once a year to keep their proper shape and size in the landscaping.
Feeding Your Trees – Trees need nutrients just like we do, and just like we take vitamins, so should our trees. Not all soil is created equal, and it is important to fertilize your trees and shrubs to ensure they are getting the nutrients they need to maintain healthy growth, color and flowering potential. At times, the soil is lacking a certain element the tree needs and chlorosis or yellowing of the leaves will occur. This is can be easily corrected. Nutrients can be delivered to the trees via deep root fertilization, some foliar applications or injections.
Injections – Injections are an efficient and safe way to correct nutrient imbalances, improve plant health and color and control pests. They are also environmentally friendly and use fewer chemicals. You also know exactly how much chemical the tree is absorbing.
Mosquito – Aside from bears and maybe foul smells… nothing will shut down a relaxing night in your backyard faster than a pesky mosquito and all of its blood sucking friends.
Not this year! Not 2021!! This is the year we take our outside serenity back! We spend too much time inside during the winter to let those little jerks ruin our summer.
Our applicators are trained on mosquito behavior and locating where they breed and lay their eggs. We are extremely effective at stopping them before they stop you. One application per month will keep your outside mosquito free long into the night, every night, all summer.
Mosquitos are also carriers of deadly diseases like West Nile, Zika virus and are the number one transmitter of worms in dogs and cats.
