Pruning is the most common tree maintenance procedure. It is a necessary process to develop a tree with strong structure and a desirable form. Effective pruning also increases light and air flow to aid in tree health. Ongoing pruning efforts will make a property safer with less chance of shedding branches and debris in the strong winds common to the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Finally, tree pruning will help to ensure the healthiest condition for a tree, rewarding the care taker with lush leaves, tasty fruit, and gorgeous flowers.
Pruning trees when young presents an important opportunity to set a young tree on a path toward thriving brilliance. Effective young pruning establishes a strong trunk and properly-spaced branches. Pruning young trees permits the use of mostly small cuts, which promotes healthy lifetime development. Mature trees pruned later in life to regain structure and aesthetic appeal are subjected to greater stress. Pruning of trees earlier in life reduces the need for more drastic and costly pruning requirements later in life.
Sometimes, despite the best efforts of a professional arborist employing the latest plant health care techniques, tree removal becomes necessary. The complexity of tree removal can span a wide range, from very simple, to very complex – often necessitating the use of a crane. While some trees are in open areas, many trees are in urban areas or close to important structures. In these cases, the utmost care and expertise must be employed. Tree removal is necessary for a wide variety of reasons including diseases, infestations, storm damage, unstable soil conditions, or simply lack of aesthetic desirability. A professional arborist is equipped and trained to deal with the most demanding tree removal scenarios.
Following a tree removal procedure, property owners are often left with an unsightly stump. Again, a professional arborist is equipped to grind the stump into the ground to achieve an appearance consistent with the rest of the ground. Removal of a stump is important not only aesthetically, but also to prevent the harboring of diseases and insects that may adversely affect other trees on a property. An arborist can also assist in site preparation for a subsequent tree planting. This involves properly preparing the site with nutrients that may have been lost, as well as selecting an appropriate species for the Boulder County climate with resistance to common area ailments.
As is true with most technical tree maintenance, contacting an ISA Certified Arborist is a property owners best bet in ensuring professional work that aids in the overall health of the tree. Visit the International Society of Arboriculture's website to find a certified arborist in Boulder County.
