Tree trimming is a very important tree care service function. Trees typically grow well beyond their estimated mature height. This means above the roof of your home, over power lines, and so on. Lower hanging branches and limbs obstruct pedestrian paths, making it difficult for people to walk under them. Trimming the tree’s crown and its lower hanging limbs is the appropriate solution.

Additionally, many trees are negatively impacted by disease, fungus, and lighting strikes. In each instance, limbs die off and the tree is structurally weakened as a result.

In order to rejuvenate the tree and avoid cutting it down, Delta Tree Services, Inc., can usually save it by pruning and trimming the affected areas. One of our many services is conducting safety audits of trees on both commercial and residential properties.

The purpose of topping is to reduce a tree’s height, often as means of harvesting its wood. It is most often used as a last resort, to save a tree after all else has failed. After topping, the desire is for new shoots to sprout from the top and grow even denser and quicker than the previous branches.

Taking Care of Trees by Removing Damaged and Dead Tree Branches Using Electric Wood Cutter on Extended Pole.

Pruning a tree will often be done for aesthetic purposes, but it is also completed for the benefit of the tree. Damaged, diseased, or broken limbs can be safety risks for those nearby and for the health of the tree. Removing these branches will also prevent further decay.

Tree removals are performed to eliminate dead and dying trees as well as those that have become hazardous. Removals can also be useful in eliminating competition for light and space so that the remaining plants are better able to grow and thrive. In some cases, trees may also be removed to allow for new construction, home additions and to provide clearances with those structures.

The favored method of tree stump removal, grinding has proven to help prevent the airborne spread of a fungal infection as the stump rots. Stumps that aren’t ground after a tree is removed can also become infested with termites or rot, creating a soft spot in your lawn’s soil. Delta Tree Services, Inc. uses stump grinders that reach deep below the roots of the tree. This allows for the complete removal of the stump as well as any lingering fungi. We will also ensure that underground wires, pipes, gas lines, dog fences, and irrigation lines are properly marked before we begin work.

Being just as mindful of what may happen on the outside of your commercial space as you are with the inside is essential to your commercial success. Your landscaping and trees play an important role in the curb appeal and aesthetics of your commercial property; your landscape may need right of way clearing to prevent hazardous situations for your employees and visitors. So what exactly are right of way clearing services and why are they so important?

A right of way clearing will remove potential tree hazards, like limbs that are growing too closely to overhead lines of service and transmission or vegetation that could impede a railway’s progress. Some commercial areas that would be great candidates for right of way clearing include:

• Roadways
• Bike Paths
• Cable and Fiber Optics
• Waterways
• Railroads
• Walking Trails
• Pipelines
• Fence Lines
• Utilities

Depending on your specific situation and unique needs, some trees may be entirely removed while others are trimmed. Your contractor will survey the area and make a determination on what may be the best cost-effective solution for the trees, limbs and vegetation that are encroaching on the area of concern.
Delta Tree Service, Inc. uses a variety of machines designed specifically for right of way clearing services. These machines can include tree shear attachments, compact tractors, excavator mounted mulchers and larger tractors for mulching.
