We all want beautiful, healthy trees in our yard. Afterall, a healthy tree is a strong tree and a strong tree, is a safer tree.
Just like us, trees need a little bit of tender loving care and maintenance to be at their best. And whilst there are some jobs that make sense to do yourself like watering and mulching, there are some tree care services that are absolutely worth investing in and paying the professionals for, for the sake of your tree and your safety. Let’s take a look at our top 5.
1. Pruning
Pruning is an essential part of tree care that promotes overall tree health and structural integrity. Removing dead or diseased branches helps keep pests and disease away, improves airflow and sunlight penetration and prevents safety hazards from falling branches.
Pruning can be done for a number of reasons but should never just be a random hacking of limbs. Pruning can be dangerous and requires skill and the appropriate tools. When done right, pruning is beneficial for the tree. When done incorrectly, it can damage the tree and leave it vulnerable.
2. Tree Removal
Removing trees can be highly dangerous and can pose a risk to both people and property. When it comes to tree removal, it is almost always best to leave it to the professionals, who are highly skilled and experienced in carrying out the job using specialised tools and equipment and can remove the considerable amount of debris once the job is completed. It’s just not worth the risk to DIY.
3. Tree Risk Assessments
A tree risk assessment is a visual assessment carried out by a qualified Arborist which determines a tree’s overall health and likelihood of branches or the entire tree, failing and what the consequences would be if this was to occur. The Arborist will check for visible issues such as pests and disease as well as other issues that might compromise the tree’s health.
Trees often have less obvious signs of problems that only a professional can detect. If the Arborist determines that the tree poses a potential threat to people or property, they will advise what options are available to the property owner to mitigate risk and advise what steps need to be taken.
4. Emergency Tree Services
Here in South-East Queensland, we are particularly prone to wild weather. Severe storms and strong winds are very common and trees often fall over or lose heavy limbs, causing serious damage and destruction. If you find yourself in this unfortunate situation, leave it to the professionals for the safety of you and your family.
5. Disease And Pest Control
Trees can be vulnerable to pest infestation and disease that can weaken their strength and vitality. Early detection and treatment is critical to ensure the tree doesn’t get more damaged and weak. An Arborist will spot a problem quickly and advise the best course of action for your tree.
While it might be tempting to think you’ll save yourself a few dollars and do it yourself, when it comes to tree care services, it’s often a false economy that could cost you a whole lot more in the long run. Save yourself the time, hassle and risk and hire a professional Arborist. Investing in essential tree care helps ensure the health, safety and beauty of your trees.
