Why is it important to hire a professional tree service near me?

Certified arborists are trained in proper pruning techniques, which help maintain the structural integrity of trees while promoting their overall health. They also adhere to safety standards and use appropriate tools, ensuring that your tree care project is completed without any accidents or injuries. Hiring a professional ensures that your trees receive the best possible care.

Using the right pruning methods is crucial for maintaining healthy trees on your property. Improper techniques can lead to irreversible damage, such as stunted growth or decay. Certified arborists have extensive knowledge about various types of trees along with their specific requirements ensuring optimal results when it comes to tree maintenance.

Crown cleaning: Removing dead, dying, and diseased branches from the crown area of a tree.
Crown thinning: Selectively removing branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown.
Crown raising: Removing lower branches to provide clearance for pedestrians or vehicles below.
Crown reduction: Reducing the size or height of a tree by selectively cutting back its limbs and foliage.

Unskilled workers may lack knowledge about proper pruning techniques, which are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and overall health of trees. Improper cuts can leave trees vulnerable to disease, insect infestatioOther example of bad pruning practice include: leaving stubs, pruning more than 10-15% of a mature tree, cutting too close to the tree (a flush cut), cutting off all the leaves but leaving pieces of wood in the tree and so forth. Fly by night workers with a chainsaw, landscapers, DIY homeowners and other untrained people are the usual culprits. Their price is low, but the cost can be very high as the City will issue an Order to Comply when they discover trees that have been harmed by poor practices. Compliance Orders force homeowners to have the tree pruned and mulched, or removed and may also carry a large fine for violating the bylaw.

Why should I hire a Certified Arborist?

Certified arborists have the knowledge and experience to ensure quality workmanship and protect you from potential liabilities through extensive insurance coverage for their work and employees. While handymen and landscapers may be capable of removing branches, sometimes the cure is worse than the disease: cutting branches and limb off incorrectly can cause significant injury and damage to a tree.
The other thing that Certified Arborists bring is an expert perspective with a longer, more comprehensive view. Cutting off a few nuisance branches may seem simple enough, and sometimes it can be. Other times it won’t actually achieve what you want, like added sunlight for your garden or to get a tree away from your car.

Small, low branches are rarely the cause of the worst tree problems, instead it is the branches much higher up that are shading your backyard or rubbing against the roof. Since we see these issues constantly, the perspective of a Certified Arborist can inform your decision and help you get the most out of your tree pruning.Using the right pruning methods is crucial for maintaining healthy trees on your property.

Why is tree trimming important for homeowners in Toronto?

Trees only began growing in urban environments during industrialization some two hundred years ago. Since they spent millions of years growing in natural environments, the changes that cities have brought are relatively recent. As a result, many trees suffer in urban environments. Since trees that are poorly maintained become a hazard and an eyesore, this can impact safety, property values and your enjoyment of your home.

Excess sunlight, drought, poor soil, pollution, damage from vehicles and other urban issues all take a toll on trees. When done right, pruning trees to remove overgrowth, limit spread and take out dead branches helps to keep trees healthy for longer. It can also keep them safer during storms, protecting your property from damage.

In tree risk assessment, there is no hazard where there is nothing of value like a person or property. A tree falling or dead branches breaking in an empty field will harm no one, but in a busy city this is not the case. Tree pruning in Toronto involves identifying and managing hazards to reduce the risk of injury or damage from trees while still keeping them as healthy as possible.

Does tree pruning hurt trees?

Trees that are pruned according to best arboricultural practices are not being harmed. In forest environments, trees compete with one another and will shed limbs or be overtaken by other larger trees. In the city, this competition for resources is lesser, which means overgrowth can occur, as well as dead branches, storm breaks and other issues. Pruning trees to contain their size, spread and spread as well as eliminating hazards keeps them healthy and safe for longer. When trees are not maintained, they can become very costly to fix or remove in future.

Why is tree maintenance important?

Trees enhance your property, improving the look, feel and privacy you enjoy at home. People with regular access to nature are happier and healthier, live longer and perform better in all areas of life. Trees and greenery clean the air around your home, naturally reduce heat in the summer time and make a picture perfect backdrop for relaxing and rejuvenating in your own private oasis.

Proper upkeep and maintenance of trees increases your safety and security, while reducing any nuisances they pose to your roof, pool, car, deck or other area.

Homes with enhanced curb appeal from well-maintained trees, hedges and shrubs can see up to 10% increases in value at sale, increasing your return at the time you need it most.

Safe, fast, personable team - did a great job with tree trimming and removal! Note: the removal of a tree was not on the original scope and they still made it happen!
By the end of the day, I wouldn’t have even known they were there.

Highly recommend! Michal came by first to take a look at things and provide the estimate. He’s obviously passionate about what he does and I learned a ton about my tree that I had no idea about! He gave me the confidence I needed to schedule the work. James and the “J-Crew” arrived on the scheduled day and were super friendly. The team did an amazing job with trimming my large overgrown maple and a fantastic cleanup job. My yard looked better than before they arrived. Will definitely have them back for future maintenance! Thanks Vista!
