Tree Care
We employ the most current techniques to preserve trees, both above ground and below:
- Spikes (AKA gaffs & spurs) are only used when removing a tree.
- Only light-duty trucks are used, and are not driven over unpaved parts of the trees’ root zone without owners’ permission. Aerial work is done using ropes and harnesses.
- Cambium Savers (AKA Friction Savers) and false crotches are used routinely, devices which greatly reduce the damage which climbing and rigging ropes can cause to bark.
- All pruning tools, with the exception of chainsaws, are sterilized before work on every site.
