I am occasionally asked this question to which I reply with several of my own questions: "How much does it cost to build a house?" or "How much does a vehicle cost?" The answer is that it depends on the variables involved. Our price is reflective of how much time and expense the job will consume. A tree that is located between two houses and surrounded by valuable shrubs is going to take longer to remove and, therefore, be more expensive than if the same tree was located in an open front yard. The first law in removals is that there is no rewind in this business.

In the world of tree care there are certainly some right and wrongs. However a large portion of the work provided is dictated by the homeowners personal preferences (particularly in the area of pruning). For instance-a tree that grows on the edge of the grass/tree line often grows at an angle towards the yard and or house. The tree will grow toward the light and often be weight heavy towards the light. Some would elect to remove the tree while others would choose to keep it and do regular pruning to keep the tree safe and healthy.

There are several factors that go into our pruning decisions. These include health of the tree and/or plant, house and/or structure damage prevention, the health of underlying plants and/or turf, and homeowner preference. When we reduce the size of a tree, we trim a series of larger limbs back to a lateral limb where we want the new height to be. We cut the larger limbs off and leave the lateral limbs as the new end of the branches. The tree is left with leaves or buds at the end of the branches.

Trees that grow in the woods naturally fertilize themselves. Leaves fall to the ground, decompose, and break down into a nutrient rich soil. Trees that grow in our yards usually have their leaves cleaned up, compete with grass roots for nutrients, and have to deal with a more compacted soil to grow their roots in. Soil compaction is primarily caused from machines at the time of home construction and day to day foot/mower traffic. One way to make sure your trees are getting the nutrients they need is from deep root fertilization.
