Tree Trimming

Our Certified Arborists are trained to know exactly what your trees need.  Years of experience, and continued education in this field are what make Independent Tree Service stand above the rest. 

 

Trees periodically need to be trimmed not only to shape, but also to remove dead and decayed branches. Low branches that touch your roof or the sides of your home also need to be kept in check.
 
Theses services not only help to protect your property, but also beautify your home at the same time.

 

We have the personnel, the training, and the specialized equipment to see to all your needs.

Protecting Your Trees

 

Are you putting in a swimming pool?  Are you finally building your dream home, or adding on to an existing home.

 

Any construction on or around your trees can cause serious damage and sometime be deadly to your trees. The damage may not show up right away, but in time it will, and the death of your favorite tree could be the result.

Your trees need protection before construction begins.

 

Our Certified Arborists know exactly what needs to be done.

 

We can tell you where your tree protection zone should begin and end.

What limbs need to be removed or trimmed so that construction equipment does not damage or rip the limbs. Is root pruning needed, and if so where.

 

Independent Tree Service wants to make sure your trees not only survive construction, but continue to provide you with their beauty and shade for many years to come.

Tree and Stump Removal

 

Some removals are very simple while others are extremely complex, requiring bucket truck crews and cranes. Independent Tree Service has all the necessary equipment and the certified arborists, to make sure that your removal is done safely and properly.

 

Sometimes trees needs to be removed for the obvious reasons. The tree may be dead or dying, the tree may have fallen on a structure or roadway or may have been severely damaged during a storm. When the tree becomes a danger its an easy decision to remove it.

 

Other times the decision is not as easy, and only after we have done everything possible to prolong the life of the tree but it continues to fail, possibly from disease, a lightning strike or a number of other reasons, the decision to remove it becomes necessary.

Fertilization

Unlike trees located in their natural forested setting, urban trees need supplemental fertilization to replenish nutrients in the soil. Because the breakdown of leaf litter and fallen debris does not occur in the urban environment nutrient deficiencies often occur. The combined factors of soil compaction, the presence of turfgrass, and poor soil aeration further contribute to the stresses of urban trees. Our Certified Arborists can prescribe a custom fertilization program to ensure optimal shrub and tree health.
