Storms occur, and when they do, they often leave damaged and fallen trees in their wake. Maybe it’s the beautiful Elm tree fighting for its survival against the dreaded Dutch Elm disease, the most lethal tree disease to date. Or perhaps that mighty oak is growing close to those electrical lines and no tree looks beautiful after the power companies get through with them. These horticultural issues and needs are beyond what can be addressed by the landscape company that mows your lawn. These are best handled by the competent and trained personnel at Tree Services in St. Paul MN companies.
Some of the services provided by tree services in St Paul MN are:
* Tree Pruning
* Consists of Class 1 or fine pruning and hazard pruning. Fine pruning is done primarily for aesthetic reasons
* but also for structural integrity and health of the tree. Hazard pruning is the removal of dead branches, decayed or weakened branches 2 inches in diameter or larger.
* Tree Removal and Stump Grinding
* Removal of small or large trees in a safe manner. Stumps can be ground down to a depth of 6-12 inches below grade. Usually for an extra fee the debris can be removed and the area seeded.
* Insect and Disease Control
* Time is of the essence. At the first indication of disease (leaf spots, excessive leaf loss, discolored leaves or signs of insects), an arborist should be consulted, regarding the best course of action. Routine fertilization can also be provided to help maintain a healthy landscape.
* Cabling and Bracing
* Helps to support weak tree crotches n the event of a storm, minimizing damage that can result in injury or property damage.
Many tree care or arbor care companies offer services to help your trees and landscape remain in top condition. Some of the better tree service companies will have a trained arborist on staff, or available for consultations. An arborist is a professional specializing in the cultivation, management, and study of trees, shrubs, vines and other woody perennials. Arborists focus on the health of individual trees and plants and are experts in diagnosing and treating their diseases. To be a Certified Arborist (CA) in the United States, requires at least 3 years of documented experience and passing a written exam administered by the International Society of Arboriculture.
