A beautiful, well-grown tree is valuable for more than its stately good looks; studies have found that home-buyers will spend as much as 20% more for a well-landscaped home that includes large, well-maintained trees. It takes the time to grow a tree; if a home has no trees, it seems barren. Purchasing large trees for a treeless property is a very good investment. (Incidentally, if a large tree is severely damaged in a storm, call a Tree Service in Fairfield Connecticut for an appraisal for the insurance company. You’ll be amazed at how valuable a large tree is.)
When a tree is planted, the location must be chosen carefully. Everyone has seen a home where someone planted a tiny sapling or evergreen next to the house, and now it looms over the roof. Since a tree becomes a permanent focal point in the landscape, it must be planted in the correct spot.
Tree Pruning
Pruning is essential in order to keep a tree healthy and looking its best. It also affords an arborist the opportunity to spot any disease or insect problems in an early stage.
• Removing deadwood or crowded branches improves both the health and structure of the tree, allowing the sunshine in and air to freely circulate.
• Smaller trees are often pruned to keep them at the desired size and shape.
• Branches growing over the roof, phone or electric wires or the neighbor’s anything should be removed.
• After a storm, pruning will remove damaged or split branches which could prove a future hazard as well as an open invitation to disease.
Treating and Preventing Insect Pests and Diseases
There are preventative treatments that a licensed arborist can use for many potential problems. When a problem has gone untreated for too long, it may become impossible to save the tree. As is true with all diseases, an accurate diagnosis is essential.
Root Management
Many tree problems are caused by damaged roots. This can occur because of work done in the soil, compacted or eroded soil or drought. Tree roots can also cause problems for walkways, walls or underground utilities or sewer lines. A specialist is needed to implement solutions for these problems.
