Tree Trimming

Our Certified Arborists are trained to know exactly what your trees need.  Years of experience and continuing education in this field are what make Independent Tree Service, Inc. 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 or building also need to be kept in check.
 
These services not only help to protect your property, but also beautify at the same time.

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

Protecting Your Trees

Your trees need protection before construction begins.

From construction sites to new homes and additions, any construction on or around your trees can cause serious damage and sometimes 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.

Our Certified Arborists 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 removals are done safely and properly.

Sometimes trees need to be removed for 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 a tree becomes a danger it’s an easy decision to remove it.

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

Stump grinding is also a part of our services.

Root Pruning

Our high-speed Vermeer root pruner safely and cleanly severs the roots of trees when needed.

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 turf grass, 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.
