It took a while for the weather to cooperate, but when the time came, all went well with excellent results. The crew removed a large water oak and a small trash tree. They worked well together and when finished, the job site was cleaned up nicely. They were friendly and informative. Neighbors were also impressed. I highly recommend Driscoll Tree Service.

I began using Driscoll Tree Service back in 2021 and was so impressed with their knowledge and quality of work, I have only hired Driscoll Tree Service since!  Just a few weeks ago, my large oak tree needed a trim and once again it was a great job!!

Trimming and Pruning

secondary

Pruning is a common tree maintenance activity that involves removing broken, diseased, dead, branches. On the other hand, trimming entails cutting overgrown but healthy branches. While these tasks may seem straightforward, without the expertise and tools required you risk further damage and premature tree removal emergencies. The best way to avoid such scenarios is to hire a certified arborist to handle the heavy lifting. Unlike untrained individuals, professionals can recommend and implement a suitable trimming or pruning method with precision, maximizing the impact without risking damage.

Disease Diagnosis

Tree diseases often go undetected until it is too late. However, there are telltale signs of deterioration you can watch out for to prevent further damage and tree removal. If you prefer a more professional approach or you don’t have the expertise to pinpoint signs of damage, a certified arborist can help. When you hire a tree care company for routine inspections, it ensures minor signs of infection don’t worsen and spread to healthy trees. Professionals can assess the damage, determine the cause accurately, and recommend the best course of action to prevent recurrences.

Tree Selection

While trees are great additions to any landscape, not every tree is suitable for your yard. The last thing you want is to plant the wrong species for your area, resulting in growth issues and unplanned tree removal projects. Before planting a tree, there are several vital considerations you should make, such as species, soil condition, climate, and maintenance needs among others. A reputable tree care company can account for all these factors and recommend the best option for your yard. In addition, professionals can devise a care plan to prevent infections, infestations, and severe damage to keep your trees in tip-top shape.

Emergency Services

Do you live in an area that experiences adverse weather? Hail, thunderstorms, and hurricanes can damage tree trunks and branches, creating hazards where the entire tree can fall. If a storm wreaks havoc in your yard, contact a tree care company quickly to assess the damage and salvage healthy trees. Arborists can provide the right care to restore your yard following weather damage, ensuring safety throughout the year. In case a tree falls on utility lines, call the utility service and vacate the premises until the problem is resolved.

Land Clearing

Property owners can schedule professional land clearing with licensed arborists to create space for construction or landscaping projects. While DIY enthusiasts may opt to tackle these tasks by themselves, without the right tools and experience, land clearing poses significant safety hazards and can cause property damage. A tree service can inspect your yard and create a plan to safely clear the work site without harming healthy trees or compromising safety.

Call ISA Certified Arborists

Tree service providers vary, making it difficult to choose the right service provider for the job. However, ISA-certified arborists have years of experience and the skills needed to handle various tree projects. Contact us today at Driscoll Tree Service and schedule a consultation with our certified arborists to maintain a safe, healthy, and appealing yard for years.
