Even as a natural element in your lawn and landscape, trees require proper care and support. With the right attention, a tree can thrive in your yard and benefit you, your property, and the environment. Consider calling an expert to take care of the following tree care tasks and provide your plants with the attention they deserve.

Expert Tree Care Tasks

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to properly caring for any plant. From soil conditions to watering schedules, plant health can fluctuate depending on a number of factors. Just as you would consult a doctor regarding your health, there are tree care professionals who specialize in maintaining a plant’s vitality.

Whether you’re considering what to plant or if it’s time to remove a potentially hazardous tree, the ISA-certified arborists at Elite Tree Care can help at any stage in the process. Here are some of those important stages where a professional offers important services.

  1. Planting. Picking the right spot to plant a tree is vital to its future health. Consider the local climate, soil conditions, and prevalent pests and diseases in the area. An arborist can advise on the best spot where a specific tree will thrive.
  2. Pruning. Proper tree pruning helps maintain the look and health of your tree. However, it’s possible to over prune or make the wrong cuts and damage the plant. Elite Tree Care arborists are fully insured and experienced in safely trimming trees to help boost vitality.
  3. Supporting. Sometimes tree branches become misshapen or too heavy for the tree, weakening the structural integrity and becoming a property hazard. Cabling, bracing, and strategic pruning techniques work to relieve the burden on the branches and provide the support a tree needs to grow stronger.
  4. Preserving. Any time there’s construction or renovations happening in a residential or commercial area, the root system of the surrounding trees are at risk. An expert arborist can determine which trees are more susceptible and help prevent damage with specialized root mulching, matting, pruning, trenching, and invigoration techniques.
  5. Repairing. While healthy trees withstand some harsh weather conditions, some extreme circumstances require additional repair. Whether it’s pruning the broken branches, supporting a weakened structure, or removing an uprooted tree, a professional tree care service should be the first call to help ensure the plan is set back on a healthy path.
  6. Removing. Tree removal is not an easy task, and it’s not the first choice of many arborists. However, sometimes it’s the best option. Typically, a tree is removed for safety reasons. This is why a fully insured professional should be on-site to handle the hazards.

While there are many things you can do to help maintain tree health, it’s always a good idea to consult a professional on these essential tasks.
