Tree pruning is the most basic aspect of tree care. Regular pruning will increase a trees life span by decreasing the likeliness of pests, disease, and breakage. Removal of dead wood and excessive sucker growth allows for more sunlight and airflow within the tree. Pruning also promotes new growth and allows for more sunlight to your lawn and other plants. Another reason for pruning is for structural clearance. All structures including houses, garages, and fences, should have at least 4 ft. of clearance from any part of a tree to avoid frictional damage and the transfer of pests like: termites, roaches, carpenter ants, and squirrels.
There are several reasons to consider tree removal. Tree death or decline, disease, breakage, lightning, new construction, foundation problems, and simply having an undesirable tree are all reasons for tree removal.
Tree removal can be a dangerous and tricky proposition which only professionals should attempt. Elite only hires foreman with at least 10 years of experience and we provide them with the safest and most up-to-date equipment available. We also carry a $2 million general liability insurance policy for the protection of our customers.
Tree cabling is helpful for two basic reasons. Cabling provides trees with weak or large limbs with extra support to reduce the risk of breakage. Cables also allow a level of protection for both people and objects that may be harmed by tree failure.
Tree fertilization is a necessary part of tree care. Like people, trees have basic requirements to ensure lasting health. We use a slow release fertilizer that can be used year round and contains all the micro and macro nutrients necessary for tree health.
