Looking to book some tree work? Its as easy as calling an arborist, but there are a few things that can make sure your experience meets your expectations!
Here are your steps to smooth tree service.
Call an arborist or two (maybe someone a friend has had a good experience with, someone with good reviews on-line, or a company you’ve seen doing good work in your area)
Be clear about what you want, or ask questions to help with the decisions.
If there are a lot of items like patio furniture etc. under the tree it is a good idea to move them. (If a tree has clear access arborists don’t have to charge as much to work on it.)
Compare quotes, and go with the one that suits best, whether it is price, or level of service that is your priority.
Once booked there are a few small things you can do to make sure the job goes smoothly
Most companies give you a heads up of approximately when they will be there. They should let you know if they need anything on the day of, but usually only need clear access to the work area.
If the tree is in the back yard give them as much access as possible.

keep people and pets away from the work area!

(2)Application of organic mulch helps retain moisture, and build soil life. If you do have lawn over the trees roots aerating helps ensure the grass…
The ground is a lot like the ocean… there is abundant life below the surface. Trees participate in that underground ecosystem. Their roots do a lot more than just hold the trunk upright… They store energy over the winter and collect water, minerals, and nutrients. They also interact with a host of bacteria and fungi…
Be careful about having anything wrapped around your tree’s trunk. The sap is the life blood of a tree, and the portion of it that has been enriched with plant food by photosynthesis travels from the leaves to the roots in a layer just under the bark called the phloem. This layer, if compressed, is…
It is normal for most trees to have a few dead branches (deadwood) over the years. These are reasons that a tree that is otherwise healthy can have a few dead branches. We like to clear deadwood out of trees for a few reasons. If your tree has an excessive amount of dead branches there…
