Stump Grinding and Removal
Crown Reduction
Tree topping is the drastic removal, or cutting back, of large branches in mature trees, leaving large, open wounds which subject the tree to disease and decay. Topping causes immediate injury to the tree and ultimately results in early failure or death of the tree.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Topped trees can regain their original height in as little as two years. The resulting fast- growing shoots are extremely weak, making them more susceptible to breakage and storm damage. Topping also results in rot. The weak sprouts and the decay increase your chances of property damage and liability.
Tree Planting
1.) Select the right tree for your site. Pay attention to the mature height and spread of the tree, as well as its water, soil, and sunlight requirements.
Another condition that often results in structural problems is the presence of long, heavy or overextended limbs. These are limbs that are unusually long for the tree species or grow horizontally or downward, with most of the foliage concentrated toward the end of the branch. Breakage resulting from these conditions often occurs at the junction of the branch and stem. Alternately, the branch may crack due to the forces of tension and compression. These failures usually occur when the branch is under heavy loading such as wind, snow or ice. Installation of cables may be used to avoid making large pruning cuts. Early corrective pruning is the best course of action to prevent this condition…

Tree Cabling and Bracing
Urban trees often need some degree of supplemental, physical support to reduce the risk of structural failure of the crown or root system. Cabling, bracing, guying and staking can provide a solution for these tree failures. Tree-support systems help support the tree by limiting the movement of branches, leaders or the entire tree. They can reduce the risk of injury to humans and damage to property by providing supplemental support for structurally weak areas of the tree.
Arborist Services
Trees are a wonderful part of nature, however, people try to put them in some of the most unnatural environments. Poor urban soils, pollution, drought, insects and disease are some of the problems that plague our urban forest. With proper diagnosis and treatment plans, Timberline’s arborists can ensure that your trees are healthy for the next generation to enjoy.
Tree Mulching
4.) Mulch Properly. Organic and inorganic mulch can add beauty to the site, as well as mitigate erosion, and reduce soil drying due to wind and sun. Be sure to mulch the entire root area of your new tree, but don’t pile mulch around the trunk.
No staking is usually needed for most shrubs, evergreen trees or trees with limbs close to the ground. Protective staking can also reduce damage to the tree from mowing equipment, vehicles or vandals. A metal or wooden frame to protect the tree may encircle trees in high-traffic areas.
