I was very impressed with how quickly and professionally they worked. They were in and out in an afternoon. They had to remove a giant Red Oak, and did so with great skill and speed. Their price is very affordable and beats out most of the competition around. I highly recommend Driscoll Tree Service. We will use them again for all of our future tree removal needs! Seriously, give them a call. They are awesome!
We called to have two large pine trees removed since they were in the way of where we needed to put our fence. We are slackers and always wait until the last minute to do anything so of course, we tried to find someone that could take these out quickly as we needed it done ASAP. These guys came out the same day I called and were able to get them out the next day. I was so impressed by how nice and professional they are, it’s nearly impossible to get anyone to come out and/or follow up with anything so it was extremely refreshing that they did both without me having to call and ask what the hold up was. I will forever use this company for future needs. Thank you again!!
Trees are majestic entities that offer many benefits, from shade and air quality to providing a habitat for wildlife. However, mature trees can become heavy or grow with weak attachments, leading to structural issues and premature tree removal emergencies. If you have trees like sugar maples or other heavy-branched species in your backyard, Driscoll Tree Service can help you support the limbs this winter. The last thing you want is branches breaking under heavy snowfall, causing injuries, damages and costly repairs. Let’s delve into the best wiring or cabling to help you maintain the structural integrity of your trees.
Before you can support heavy limbs, it is crucial to understand common structural issues that might prompt additional support. Some signs to look out for that require the expertise of tree service providers include dead, diseased, or dying branches. Certified arborists can determine if the limbs are salvageable or require removal to protect the rest of the tree.
Another telltale sign your tree needs support is poor canopy health or thinning because of pests or environmental stressors. A damaged canopy produces overly-exposed or dead branches that wreak havoc if left unattended. Once you detect thinning in the canopy, call a tree care company quickly to inspect, diagnose, and fix the problem.
Lastly, minor cracks through the bark and into the wood because of weather-related instances like lightning show the need for extra support. In addition, patterns of weak or overextending branches may require removal through strategic pruning. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, it is advisable to have a trusted tree service provider on hand for guidance. The last thing you want is a severely damaged tree because of improper pruning techniques, leading to unplanned tree removal emergencies.
There are several tree support systems that arborists recommend to help individual branches, leaders, or entire trees. Here are common support systems to consider for your trees this winter.
Tree cabling restricts the distance a codominant stem or branch moves in relation to the rest of the tree. This prevents excessive bending and breakage, maintaining maximum structural integrity throughout the harsh winter. Tree service providers also use cables to support weak forks, reducing the risk of breaking. Before cabling your limbs, schedule an inspection with trained professionals to determine the number of cables or if they should integrate brace rods.
Brace rods support trees with multiple leaders that have weak attachment points. Your tree care company may suggest brace rods to reduce the risk of leaders spreading and breaking apart. Also, these supportive devices help to repair split branches or separated forks. Based on the tree size, present decay, or structural issues, at least one cable can be integrated for additional support.
As a property owner, having a tree with heavy branches poses safety hazards and the risk of property damage if left unchecked. Contact us at the Driscoll Tree Service and schedule a consultation with our experts to install the proper system for your trees. Besides providing limb support, we provide planting, fertilization, pruning, and tree removal services, keeping your yard in tip-top shape.
