I began using Driscoll Tree Service back in 2021 and was so impressed with their knowledge and quality of work, I have only hired Driscoll Tree Service since!  Just a few weeks ago, my large oak tree needed a trim and once again it was a great job!!

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!!

Bad Pruning Techniques Can Cause More Harm Than Good

Pruning is an essential gardening task that helps keep plants healthy and looking their best. However, if it's not done correctly, pruning can actually do more harm than good. Incorrect pruning can damage plant tissue, promoting the growth of disease and pests. It can also stimulate excess growth that makes plants more susceptible to wind and storm damage. In some cases, incorrect pruning can even kill a tree. That's why it's so important to hire professionals for the job.

Pruning Trees Can Be Dangerous

Tree pruning is much more dangerous than one might expect. Falling from the top of a ladder can result in serious injury. Likewise, a fallen limb or heavy branch could fall on the operator or harm a bystander. Improper use of certain tools and equipment can also put people at risk. Arborists will have all of the right safety gear and training required to prune your trees without harming themselves or your property.

You Can Avoid Property Damage

Pruning branches and trees incorrectly can also cause unexpected damage to your property. Fallen materials could scratch windows, hit roof tiles, land on the top of a luxury vehicle, or knock over outdoor furniture and features. Fixing the damage can be time-consuming and expensive. Arborists will know how to properly trim and prune plant materials in a way that will not put your property or valuables at risk.

Licensed Arborists are Tree Experts

Arborists are professionals who have special training in the care of trees. They are knowledgeable about the needs of different types of trees and how to prune them properly to encourage healthy growth. Due to their extensive education and training, they can also spot the early signs of common tree-related problems like plant diseases, the appearance of harmful insect populations, or hidden damage. If you have trees on your property, it is important to hire a certified arborist for services. They have the knowledge and experience necessary to care for your trees in a way that will promote their health and beauty for years to come.

Do You Need a Professional Tree Service for Your Property?

When trees are pruned correctly, they are less likely to experience problems such as disease, pest infestations, and storm damage. In addition, well-pruned trees can add value to your property and increase curb appeal. So, if you're ready to invest in the reliable services of a trained arborist, then call Driscoll Tree Service today. Our dependable technicians have the experience and equipment needed to ensure that your trees are looking their best long-term.
