ETHICAL TREE CARE MANAGEMENT

IN THE BUSINESS OF SAVING TREES

Pruning
Arborists used to be called 'Tree Surgeons'. The pruning of, and elimination of branches, changes the physiology of a tree. Properly performed and properly timed trimming is important for the the safety, health, and longevity of the largest longest lived perennials on earth. Improperly timed and executed pruning cuts too often begins their decline and death.
Removal
Unless it is obvious to us that your tree is a hazard, we will always ask why you are leaning toward removal. In 48 years of tree care, President of LTC, Phil Berwick has expereinced that 9 out of 10 times a tree owner THOUGHT their their tree should be removed, it really did not have to. By the same token a tree can appear to be safe, and it's not. A hazard tree inspection is recommended.
Planting
Too many tree 'cutters' are removing trees at the drop of a chainsaw. Too few human beings are planting. When we install a tree, we hold to the protocol an elderly gal told us many years ago: You plant a ten dollar tree in a hundred dollar hole.
