Tree Removal and Planting

Tree Removal
When a tree becomes more of a liability than an asset, I am often asked to be the “coroner.” If the need is not apparent to you, I will make the recommendation. Landscapes are typically overplanted at the start, and selections for removal need to be made over time for this reason. Often the reason for removal is structural or aesthetic, not because of poor health.

Tree Planting

Tree Pruning and Trimming
Besides the usual waste from tree pruning and removal, many locales would benefit from a 'coppice' approach to wood production to assure a steady supply. Any species that resprouts from the base can be harvested on a 5- to 20-year cycle. Coppice has been practiced for centuries. Besides fuel, it yields usable materials and promotes wildlife. (9)
Tree Maintenance
Tree Cabling and Bracing
Structural issues, such as a weak branch or a narrow crotch, can often be remedied by installing cables. Properly installed cables only limit the range of motion of the tree parts involved. Guy wires are used to apply tension. Cables are internal, between parts of the same tree; guying is usually done to a stationary object or to a soil anchor. Guying is done to straighten or support young trees only, so that they develop at a desired angle (usually 90°), after which the guy is removed. Cables remain in the tree until the supported part is removed or the cable(s) have to be re-installed higher or slacker due to growth of the tree.

Burning wood has earned a bad name. Tar, soot, carbon monoxide and particulates in smoke cause health problems and death. Modern fireplaces are smoky and inefficient space heaters, and the chimneys frequently don't draw properly. Even an EPA certified low-emission stove puts out as many fine particulates in 2-1/2 days as a car does in a year.(1) Urban areas and valleys are especially vulnerable to smog. But about 80 percent of residential renewable energy comes from wood heat appliances (not including fireplaces), compared with 15% from solar.(2) And today we have wood burning alternatives, new and old, that can restore firewood's reputation and save arborists money. They would utilize our 'captive' fuel source to heat our shops and homes. And by promoting them to the public, we can develop a market for our waste.
Tree Mulching
When planted, trees and shrubs should not have their trunks buried in soil or mulch. This is a problem that I often correct in established trees. There is a natural flare between the trunk and roots—the “transition zone.” If the base of your tree looks like a telephone pole in the ground, you probably need a root crown excavation.
