Adding trees to your landscaping may offer privacy, beauty, and shade to the rest of your property. The specialists at My Arborist are available to assist with questions you may have about planting, caring for, and removing trees. We can help control pests or diseases, boost tree health, and provide deep root fertilization. Here are five reasons to hire arborists:
Tree Pruning and Maintenance
Trees should be pruned each spring to encourage them to produce more fruit or leaves. By removing young branches, called runners, that deplete the tree’s nutrients, trees often have more energy for new growth in the spring. Pruning can also keep the trees within the height and width required by you or your neighborhood regulations. Arborists also check the trees’ root systems to make sure they get the needed moisture and nutrients.
Tree Planting Guidance
When adding new trees to your yard, knowing which species are best suited to the region or soil type may be difficult. Share your goals for shade, privacy, or flowering trees with specialists at My Arborist. We can recommend species types and planting locations to help make sure your new trees get the best nutrients, sun, and water to promote growth. We can also give you tips on keeping them healthy year-round with the amount of watering, fertilization, and other care needed.
Emergency Assistance
Emergencies may arise that require an arborist’s assistance. High winds may pull trees up by their roots, and lightning during storms can damage them. We will prune damaged branches and remove fallen limbs to help preserve the tree and restore its health.
Pest and Disease Management
Burrowing beetles and worms often attack your tree’s health from the inside, making an infestation hard to spot. Tree diseases, including fungal, bacterial, and viral, are common causes of a tree’s death.
Our ISA-certified arborists are trained to identify warning signs of tree pests and diseases and help you develop a treatment plan. Early detection helps prevent these issues from spreading and preserves your trees. Applying disease and insect repellent at each stage of a tree’s growing season can target season-dependent risks.
Tree Injections
Tree injections introduce pest treatments, growth regulators, and nutrients into the plant’s vascular system. They spread through the tree quickly since the solution does not need to be absorbed by the roots. Injections are usually long-lasting, eliminating the need for frequent application.
For deep root fertilization, specialists inject a nutrient solution into a tree’s root zone. This method helps provide the right level of nutrients and oxygen to encourage root growth. Trees with stronger roots and appropriate nutrients are often more resistant to pests and disease.
