 Tree Pruning

Trees are living things. As living things they grow however they want, regardless of how we'd like them to. Sometimes tree branches and limbs are particularly stubborn and chose a direction or location that directly interferes with us. Sometimes it makes sense to prune a tree if it has that kind of wild streak. Tree pruning means selectively removing certain branches of a tree. By doing this, unwanted branches are removed, the tree's overall structure and health are improved, and new healthy growth can be directed in the tree's best interest and our best interest. Again because tree's are living things, pruning should be done regularly as trees continue to grow. 

Tree Felling

Tree felling in it's simplest terms means cutting down a tree. The simplicity of that definition belies the complexity of the task. Tree felling can be extremely dangerous. A tree needs to be cut in such a way that it falls without coming into contact with anything else. Certain trees needs to be cut in certain directions due to their shape. If a tree is damage or rotted it can split while being cut and fall in a different direction than intended, which could lead cause serious or fatal injury to anyone standing nearby. If a tree falls and hits other trees on the way down, it could get stuck which is a hazard. If whatever is holding up the tree moves, the tree will fall with great force, crushing anything beneath it. When a tree is felled, limbs may break off and fly trough the air unpredictably. If you need a tree felled it is imperative that you call a professional. Bridgeton Tree Service is a professional experience tree service.. Give us a call today if you need a tree felled.

Stump Grinding

After a tree is removed there is a stump left behind where the trunk was cut. The stump left behind is connected to the tree's underground root system. Some tree's root system's are extremely extensive, they can be many times larger and more extensive than part of the tree we can see, the trunk, branches, leaves and fruits. Stump grinding turns a stump into a pile of small wood chips which can be used for mulch or compost. Stumps are grinded by using a piece of equipment with a rotating blade with teeth that slice through the stump. A stump grinder chews a stump below ground level, which leaves a hole behind and ensures the stump won't sprout back up. 

Wood Chipping

Wood chipping is accomplished with a large piece of equipment called a wood chipper. If you have lots of brush, branches and other tree pieces that you would like to turn into wood chips for mulching and composting, a wood chipper will be needed. Woodchippers are are dangerous pieces of equipment an should only be operated by those with experience. A professional tree service will have a wood chipper and can chip any wood you would like quickly and safely. 

Tree Pest Management

Just like with any other living thing, there are organisms that help and harm trees. The organisms that harm trees are the ones we call pests. Pests attach trees in a number of ways. Some are defoliators that eat leaves. Defoliators can hamper the growth of trees if they get out of control. Another kind of pest are borers. Borers bore into the wood of a tree. Their larvae then feed on the trees new growth which can stunt the growth of a tree and eventually kill it. There are also sap sucking pests. These pests feed on the sap in tree bark, leaves or stems and can stunt new leaf growth, branch dieback and sometimes death.
There are many pests that attack trees. Some pests only attack certain kinds of trees while others attack various kinds of trees. An experienced, professional arborists know which trees are susceptible to which kinds of pests and what the signs to look for are. It is always better a cheaper to keep a tree healthy than wait until it's too far gone and needs to be cut down and removed. 

Storm Cleanup

It seems like the storms in our area are more frequent and powerful by the year. Whether that's really true or not, one thing always damaged by powerful storms are trees.

Tree Crown Thining

Tree crown thinning is a pruning technique where stems and branches are selectively removed to increase the amount of light and air movement through the crown of a tree. Tree crowning improves a tree's structure and form and gives pests less area to attack. An experienced arborist can crown a tree in a way that doesn't stress the tree too much and prevent excessive sprouting.
