Do it yourself tree work runs the fine line between being a pocket-friendly alternative to hiring professional tree services and a dangerous hazard waiting to happen. Common maintenance such as watering, fertilizing, mulching, and monitoring for pests or diseases are the home owner responsibilities. Also, some minor problems such as low-hanging branches that block pathways are able to be trimmed by home owners, however, if the branches that need pruning are too tall, near power lines, or a tree removal is necessary then an expert arborist should be contacted immediately.
Next, let’s discuss some of the most important times when you should call a tree service.
Storm Prep and Storm Cleanup
Here in Connecticut, we’re no strangers mother nature making herself known by marking her territory all over our yards; trees and bushes will collapse or fall, our plants will fly, and worst of all our homes and safety may become jeopardized as a result of these powerful storms.
When those times of year come, it is vital get your yard prepared ahead of time to minimize the damage that may occur. Although some kind of damage is inevitable, the repair and clean up following these natural disasters can be much simpler than you’d think if you know we’re the right people to call.
Tree Service Near Power Lines
Pruning low-hanging branches or removing small trees may seem like a simple task but the safety precautions are often overlooked. In a recent ten-year period study, approximately 4,491 deaths resulted due to power line electrocution during tree work.
Our goal at Lamb’s Tree & Plant Health Care is to ensure that those hazards won’t occur when we are doing business with you; we will take the utmost precautions and strategic approach when it comes to protecting your home in the removal of trees or branches near power lines. There are certain procedures and tools required during processes such as these which not everybody has access to due to licensing and safety issues.
Tree Service for Pruning Tall Trees
In the most recently documented ten-year period, 6,105 total fatalities occurred due to falls from tree work. Under Connecticut state law, if the tree on a home owner’s property has roots or branches which grow beyond the property line onto their neighbors’ it is not lawful to remove the tree entirely and instead requires proper pruning procedures. Sometimes if the height of the branches exceeds a safe reach then an expert tree service is needed as opposed to DIY landscaping.
Now, that we know what we should and shouldn’t do on our own for our trees, healthy and consistent growth can occur. Owner and lead arborist here at Lamb’s Tree & Plant Health Care takes pride in prioritizing the safety of his workers along with the livelihood and architecture of the home owners being serviced.
