When storms occur they often leave in their wake damaged or fallen trees. Other times there is the need for tree removal in Arlington because a homeowner’s once stately Elm tree lost its fight against Dutch Elm disease, the most lethal of tree disease’s in recent history. Or maybe an Oak tree has grown too close for comfort to overhead power lines and the homeowner would rather a trained arborist trim than the power company — and who can blame them?
Often these types of issues are beyond what can be addressed by the landscape company that provides homeowners with lawn mowing services. These types of issues and more are best addressed by experienced and trained personnel of Cambridge Landscape who has been providing their community with the best of arbor care and landscape design for over 30 years. Some of which include the following:
* Tree Pruning: This may involve fine pruning, deadwood removal, and hazard pruning. Fine pruning is done mainly for aesthetic purposes but sometimes for the health and structural integrity of the tree as well. Hazard pruning removes dead branches, weak or decayed branches larger than 2 inches in diameter.
* Tree Removal and Stump Grinding: Everything from small to large trees are removed in a safe and environmentally safe manner. Some companies offer special trucks making tree removal in Arlington simple and efficient. Stumps will often be ground to a depth up to 12 inches below grade resulting in a safe and visually appealing effect. With top-of-the-line equipment in trees in the hard to reach or difficult areas can be removed easily.
* Insect, Pest, and Disease Control: When it comes to addressing many of these issues timing is critical. At the first signs of problems like leaf spots, chewed or deformed leaves, excessive leaf drop or signs of insects themselves, a trained tree expert or arborist should be consulted. Many landscape companies offer routine maintenance programs that provide fertilization and pesticide or fungicide applications as needed.
Some landscape companies provide these services and more by a trained arborist either in-house or by consultation. An arborist is a skilled professional specifically trained in the management and study of trees, shrubs, and woody perennials. Arborists are considered to be experts in diagnosing and treating trees and their diseases. To be a Certified Arborist (CA) requires a minimum of three years of proven experience and passing the written exam offered through International Society of Arboriculture.
