If you have one or more trees on your property, tree care should be an important part of your home maintenance. In urban environments, trees sometimes struggle to thrive. This is usually due to the competition for space with surrounding structures and features, such as buildings and pathways. A tree service with a qualified arborist can provide a superior level of care for your trees.

An arborist can provide you with a wide range of services beyond just pruning and tree removal.

1. Planting advice

If you wish to add some trees to your landscape, an arborist can help you to choose the right trees and the right location. They also understand what newly planted trees need to survive.

2. Tree shaping services

Trees are best shaped when they are young. An arborist can help you to shape your young trees so that they grow into beautiful and healthy mature trees.

3. Disease identification and management

An arborist can examine your trees and identify any existing diseases or pest issues. They can also spot potential future issues and recommend approaches that will help to avoid those issues. For instance, if your tree's canopy is thick, it may be prone to disease. An arborist will spot this and recommend pruning.

4. Pruning that is safe for your tree

An arborist has to pass many tests before they can become a qualified arborist. And not all tree services have certified arborists on board. To ensure that your trees flourish after pruning, choose an arborist to prune your trees.

5. Fertilization for trees lacking in nutrients

Trees can usually survive without the need for fertilizer. And sometimes, fertilizer is used unnecessarily for sick or damaged trees. If an arborist tests the soil in your yard and discovers that your soil is lacking in nutrients, then they will recommend and apply fertilizer to help your trees.  

6. Emergency care for injured trees

If your trees suffer damage due to a storm or nearby construction, an arborist is qualified to deal with the damage in the right way. For instance, if your tree loses a large amount of bark, an arborist can replace that bark to ensure your tree survives.

Take the time to find a reputable tree service with a qualified arborist in your area. The services that an arborist provides can ensure that your trees stay healthy and vibrant for many years.
