As Green As We Can Be!

Tree Solutions strives to be environmentally concious and friendly in every facet of our work.

One of our primary goals is to help our clients keep their trees healthy, safe, and beautiful. Removal is never the first option, it’s the last resort.  By preserving as many trees as possible, we help maintain our urban forest, with all the benefits it provides. Many possibilities exhist to help improve the vitality of underperforming trees, and make them beautiful, valued additions to your landscape. Even many split trees can be saved through cabling and bracing, and trees damaged by ice or wind can be restored over time with careful pruning and good root zone care.

When tree removal is necessary, Tree Solutions recycles as much of every tree as possible. Wether it’s being turned into rustic furniture, or chipped into mulch, or composted to make a great garden and flower bed amendment, or cut into firewood to help reduce our fossil fuels consumptions, we always make good use of everything we’re able. None of our debris from tree trimming or removal ever goes into a landfill.

Whenever we remove a tree, we ask if the client is interested in having new trees planted. Many times the removed tree was too large for it’s spot, or a species unsuitable for it’s placement. A new replacement tree selected for it’s growth habits, or strength, or food production, or whatever your needs are can provide excellent benefits for your property.

In dealing with fungal or insect infestations we look first at treatments which do not include insecticides or fungicides. Organic is the goal, whenever possible, to maintain the balance of nature and not pollute our environment.

When insecticides are necessary, we prefer to use systemic insecticides to provide long term protection compared to a spray insecticide. Systemic insecticides only affect insects feeding on the tree, and will not harm a host of beneficial insects the way a foliar spray will.

Got a suggestion that can help us be a little greener? We’d love to hear from you. We strive to make as little negative impact as possible to the environment, and to make our land a little greener every chance we get Anything we can do to get better is a welcome addition to our efforts.
