Symbiosis Tree Care
Trees are valuable. They are attractive natural features, and they reduce stress in humans. In addition trees lower wind speed and reduce temperature flux on hot and cold days. We all benefit from trees. The trees we benefit most from on a daily basis are the ones we live with.
Like all living things trees require attention and care. Keeping trees healthy will keep them attractive, safe, and add value to our property. Tree care based on research and experience will provide the greatest benefit for your trees. It also gives you the best value for your budget.
Symbiosis Tree Care can help you maintain your trees, and develop plans that provide solutions to problems.
Tree Care Services
Risk Assessment
Tree risk assessment can help identify problems and suggest solutions to increase safety around them. There are many factors that impact tree risk.
Root Care
After planting, your tree grows up. Foliage and trunks are the most obvious features. The parts of the tree less obvious to us are the roots under our feet. Healthy roots provide water and elements necessary for good growth. Symbiosis Tree Care offers services with air excavation tools. Air excavation allow work with tree roots that minimises the damage shovels and other digging tools can do. The tool's uses are:
-
Improving root health by loosening soil and increasing the amount available to the tree.
-
Identify conflicts between roots and infrastructure.
-
Transplanting trees larger than common nursery stock.
-
Install utility lines under tree roots without damaging the roots.
Pruning
Tree pruning on small trees
Selection and Planting
Picking the right tree(s) for the right spot, and planting using techniques that improve long term health. Root structure may suffer damage even in the nursery. Inspection during planting can mitigate structure problems and improve long term health of your tree.
Disease/Insects
Insects and fungus are attracted to trees. Also humans effect health due to accidents or failure to appreciate consequences of projects near or on trees.
