Spotting signs of a sick tree isn’t always easy, but there are clues to watch for. By looking closely at the tree’s symptoms and its surroundings, we can often figure out what’s wrong. While some issues can be solved with a quick online search, over-watering is a common problem for trees here. Our tree experts can check it out and give your tree the right care.

If your tree has been poorly pruned, we’ll evaluate its condition to determine if it can be salvaged. We typically refrain from further cutting for a period to allow for recovery. In the future, we may perform selective limb thinning as part of a crown restoration process to rebuild the canopy. It’s crucial to avoid “topping” trees, as it can lead to irreversible damage. Learn more about the consequences of improper pruning here.

When you’re adding things like pools or play areas, we’ll see which tree branches can be safely trimmed. If we have to trim too much, we’ll talk about taking the tree out – but only if we really have to. Unlike regular contractors, we care about keeping trees healthy and safe, thinking about how they’ll grow in the future.

If shade from a tree is impacting your garden’s sunlight, we can assess the situation similarly to planning for structures like decks or pools. This may involve selectively thinning the tree to allow more sunlight through. However, it’s essential to remember that trees need their leaves to thrive. If you’re aiming for a productive garden, our team can help you design your yard to optimize sunlight and space while preserving tree health.
