Among the many marvels of the nature, the arboreal life is perhaps one of the less understood. The trees we see around us, are so mundane to us that we often fail to notice them. But can we imagine a life without them? It will be a quick race to the ubiquitous ‘end of the world’ doomsday without them! They recycle the air we breathe, provide home to birds, animals, and insects, give shade, fruits and wood, beautify our surroundings, and countless other benefits!

Without proper care and maintenance, the neighbourhood may eventually resemble a wild forest. Like any living organism, trees need care and attention to remain healthy. Proper tree care can preserve their health, safety, and beauty. There are professionals that specialize in taking care of the trees. They are called arborists or tree surgeons. The services provided by arborists can range from mundane tasks such as trimming and pruning to more complex tasks such as removals and emergency services.

Some of the benefits of proper tree maintenance are –

1. Tree Health: Pruning dead or overgrown branches helps trees to allocate their resources to more vital functions. It also helps with better air circulation and sunlight penetration, preventing fungal infections and pest problems.

2. Aesthetic Appeal: Looking after your trees with professional help improves the visual appeal of the landscape. It increases your property value, creating pleasant outdoor environments.

3. Safety: Periodic maintenance of the trees minimizes the risk to life, buildings, and structures from fallen trees or branches.

4. Environmental Benefits: Trees are essential to a healthy environment. By proper care of the trees, we can ensure that they live longer, providing clean air and sanctuary to arboreal life.

Emergency Tree Services

Trees sometimes can pose significant risks to people, buildings, utilities and vehicles. Emergency tree service providers have the necessary skills and experience to quickly assess the situation and mitigate the risk. They also have the ability to carry out preventive maintenance, by taking necessary actions before a damage occurs.

Eco-friendly techniques used by tree professionals –

1. Selective clearing: Instead of indiscriminate clearing of an entire area, selective clearing is opted by tree service specialists. They identify which trees and plants to clear based on their condition, risk factors, health and species. This technique minimizes collateral damage, while preserving the original landscape quality.

2. Manual Removal: In environmentally sensitive areas, where use of machinery is restricted, arborists prefer manual clearing. They use hand tools such as chainsaw, brush cutters and axes to clear the area, ensuring minimal damage to the surroundings.

3. Mulching: Mulching is preferred over hauling away the cut trees and vegetation. Using grinders, the trees are ground into small wood chips or mulch and spread over the area. It provides a ground cover, which in turn help the soil retain its moisture, suppress growth of weed and improve soil fertility.

4. Erosion Control: Land bereft of trees and vegetation are vulnerable to soil erosion. To avoid this, arborists resort to erosion control techniques such as installing silt fences, or bioengineering techniques like planting erosion-resistant vegetation or installing check dams.

5. Waste Management: Proper waste management is essential for the well-being of our nature. Tree professionals resort to responsible waste management that is eco-friendly. The cleared vegetation can be turned into mulch or biomass. They can be composted for organic soil amendments.

As simple as it may look, taking care of your trees has more to it than you think. It is essential to wake up to the importance of proper tree care before it is too late.
