Safety tip : Don’t get close unless absolutely necessary. Don’t de-energize any power lines unless you are trained, qualified, and authorized to do so. If your job requires you to get close with energized power lines, contact the utility company to de-energize the lines or request that the lines be covered with insulating hoses or blankets before you proceed with your work. But i think you are better hiring a professional tree service company.

Tree care advice : Tree Prune is a very effective method. For the visibility and safety of your streets and sidewalks, private shrubs and trees overhanging public property, the community expects the house owner to maintain the mentioned clearance guidelines, using the appropriate pruning. At the same time this will help to avoid the damage to private tree and plants by reducing accidental collisions and breakage.

Tree advice : When planting a tree, you need to make sure that its root system is able to settle and expand appropriately. Too much new soil around the base of a tree can cause roots to tangle or strangle the trunk of the tree. If you need additional guidance in this area, don’t hesitate to contact our team.

Tree trimming techniques : Be very conscious about the size of the branch that you are removing. If it is of very small size, say, for instance, 5cm in diameter, it is okay to remove it. If it is between 5 and 10 cm in diameter, it will not exactly be a great thing to do. If it is more than 10 cm, and if you want to trim it, you should have a really good enough reason. Use the three-cut technique for stems that are too long – Make a notch on the side of the stem that faces away from the branch that’s being held; make the second cut inside the crotch of the branch and above the branch ridge; the third cut will remove the stub by cutting through the stem parallel to the branch bark ridge.

According to arborist Peter Rennie, “while most large tree companies have someone who can repair telephone or cable wires if they should get cut, no company will re-splice your electrical service cable. This is a direct feed from the utility company, and they need to come and shut down the cable at the transformer. This may entail taking out the power from your neighbors as well. Also, electrical service cables usually have wire rope wound around the cables, so if they do break, often there is damage at the masthead (where the cable attaches to the house), so an electrician needs to repair this as well.”

Tree removal and trimming are complicated operations that require trained professionals and highly specialized equipment. We advice against undertaking this tasks trying to avoid paying the costs required to hire a specialized arborist. But you can educate yourself and make the best decisions for your courtyard or garden. A tip : No one wants a young, inexperienced company causing a ruckus on their property. Make sure your potential tree care company is at least 10 years old. Many tree companies under 10 years old eventually fail because they don’t do their business well. This industry is full of pop up businesses that go neighborhood to neighborhood searching for business. Don’t be scammed by these unseasoned companies.
