Pruning
|
|
Class I deadwood removal:
Class I deadwood removal consists of removing dead, dying, or broken limbs and branches that are
approximately one inch in diameter and larger. This is detailed and time consuming work, and is not recommended for most
homeowners.
Class II deadwood removal:
Class II deadwood removal consists of removing dead, dying, or broken limbs and branches that are approximately
two inches in diameter and larger. This improves the health and aesthetic qualities of the tree while reducing the potential
hazards presented by falling or fallen limbs.
Class III deadwood removal:
Class III deadwood removal consists of removing only those dead, dying, or broken limbs that are over
approximately three inches in diameter. We sometimes refer to this as "fast deadwood removal".

Removals
|
|
Apart from routine removals, we also specialize in difficult or high
risk extractions of trees.
|
|
Building or roof clearance
|
|
Building clearance consists of pruning trees
so as to prevent damage to structures by contact with tree limbs. Where possible, live oak limbs are
pruned to 3' from any structure, and other species will be pruned as far back as 4'. This allows
enough space between trees and structures that, with normal growth, the procedure should not need repeating
for at least three years.
|
|
Stump grinding
|
|
Stumps are ground to approximately six inches
below soil level. Note that we must have adequate space in which to maneuver a large stump grinder,
so unfortunately we are not able to grind stumps that are situated in very tight spots. We also cannot
grind stumps that are located immediately next to paving, concrete, stonework, etc.

|
Lot clearing
|
|
ASV clearing:
For aggressive clearing of overgrown lots
Hand clearing:
For selective, detailed clearing
|
|
Canopy raises
|
|
In parking lot areas and driveways, canopies
are routinely raised to at least 12' above the ground wherever possible, in order to provide clearance
for vehicles. Trees over walkways may be raised to the client's specifications. Canopies over
city roads are raised to at least 14', in accordance with city ordinance.
|
|
Vertical mulching and core aeration
|
|
An intensive mulching and aerating treatment
used to relive soil compaction and increase white fibrous growth on tree roots.
|
|
Consultations
|
|
If you do not need work done at the present
time, but would like recommendations for your trees, there is a $75 consultation fee. If, after a consultation,
you decide to have us perform your tree work, we will waive or deduct the consultation fee.
