How much effort are you putting into your home's appearance? One of the toughest tasks involves your trees. Maintaining your trees and removing ones that can't be saved will increase your home's curb appeal. Additionally, according to the USDA Forest Service, healthy, mature trees can boost your property value by 10%. However, there's no need for you to take on this challenging and dangerous work on your own. Tree services are on call to help care for your trees. Before you consider hiring a local arborist, however, take a moment to learn about a few different tree services you can request.

1. Tree Removal

In many cases, a tree that needs to be removed won't look appealing and can negatively affect your yard's appearance. You can usually tell that a tree needs to be removed when it appears to be damaged, decayed, hollow, diseased, or infested with pests. Keep in mind that there are also times when a healthy tree needs to be removed, such as when it's located in a dangerous area or is too close to your home. If you aren't sure how close a tree should be to your home or power lines, contact our team of arborists to learn more.

2. Tree Pruning or Trimming

Tree trimming and tree pruning can be interchangeable terms for some individuals. They both refer to cutting leaves or branches from a tree. However, they serve different purposes, and they often require different tools. Tree trimming is done primarily to improve the aesthetic appeal of your trees and the rest of the landscape. On the other hand, tree pruning is done mainly to remove dead, diseased, or infected branches on a tree.

3. Stump Grinding

Stump grinding involves using specialized machinery to grind a stump into wood chips. Companies attach a saw blade or other sharp blade to the equipment. This is slowly lowered over the stump to grind it down. The process can be loud, but it's efficient. Many companies can complete the job in about a day or less.

Working with a local arborist is a great way to remove unsightly trees in your yard and maintain healthy ones. You'll enjoy efficient services with a smile when you hire Dillon Tree Service. Contact us today to get started with a free estimate!
