To Your Trees Health

tree cutting jacksonville fl

To Your Trees  Health – Rot or Damage- 

Your healthy tree’s trunk joins its leafy branches above with its growing roots base below. It’s what keeps it all together. If damage occurs to the trunk or it starts rotting it can effect the whole tree.

So what should you do if you have part of the tree trunk that gets damages or starts rotting?

It is not recommended to cut off and seal a rotting portion of a tree trunk. This can leave the tree vulnerable to more infections and could make the tree worse. Trees will try to heal the damaged area by sealing the area its self and will continue to grow.

Tree paint will not close wounds or prevent the spread of diseases. You could do more damage then good by using tree paint. Another misconception is trying to cut out the bad spot. Trying to cut out the problem will not solve the it because the issue is deeper than that. Trees rot because of a disease called wood decay, which usually targets old, large specimens and infects their wood from the inside out. It is almost impossible, to treat wood decay.

Rot could be a sign that your tree’s weak or unstable. You will want to call on a tree removal specialist to assess to see if it’s at risk of falling on your home. Keep your trees health.

Here are some options that your tree specialist may recommend:

* If the tree is mostly healthy and the decayed area is small, there’s a chance that it will seal itself over the rotting spot as it naturally grows new wood.

*Tree health care such as watering, fertilizing and pruning can do wonders to help extend the life of your tree. Just use cation if it is at risk of falling. Also, try to avoid any additional injury to the tree.

*If the tree trunk rot has weakened the tree to the point where it poses a risk to people or your home and property, you will want to have an experienced tree removal service take down the tree for safety.

Tree Maintenance Tips To Keep Your Trees Healthy and Strong

Find the right tree for the right area. Spots with enough sun and space that will allow your tree full growth capacity is ideal. Keep in mind before you dig where power-lines and underground utility’s are and do not plant to close to your home. Also, one of the biggest mistake made is planting the tree to deep.

  1. Properly water your trees! Do not rely on the rain to water your trees, check your trees regularly for moister and dryness. Typically an older tree will need one inch of water a week. Newer trees will need somewhere between 4 to 10 gallons each week during the first few growing seasons.
  2. Mulching adds not only beauty to your tree, but it also insulates the tree roots, protects the roots from lawn mower cuts and helps prevent dry soil. When you mulch your tree start by removing the grass and weeds around the tree and spread about two to four inches of mulch. Make sure not to cover the base of the trunk.
  3. Fertilizing is a way to add nutrients back into the soil to feed your tree. Use a slow-release fertilizer regularly to release nutrients into the soil. Also, test your soil occasionally to see if any elements are missing or low in supply.
  4. Proper trimming improves trees’ structure while also removing any deadwood holding them back. Major pruning should be done when the tree is dormant and doesn’t have any leaves. Then, in the summer, clean up and clear out small, dead or damaged branches.
  5. Make an appointment with a tree specialist for your tree. Spotting signs of pests or diseases early can make the difference. You want them to look for red flags like discolored leaves, cankers, holes, and more. They can provide you with a plan of action on how to help.

Proper care will ensure growth and a healthy tree. If your tree is beyond care and posses a safety threat it is always recommended that you hire a professional tree trimming or removal service to exam your tree, keep your trees health.

How to Pick a Tree Service

How to pick a Tree Service

Jacksonville Tree Service

While smaller tree care projects, such as pruning and small tree removals, are certainly within the abilities of the average property owner, large tree jobs should be left to the professionals.

Our motto at Jacksonville Area Tree Service is that if a homeowner can keep both feet on the ground then they should call a professional tree service company in Jacksonville, FL to service their trees. However, even this prudent decision is not without risks. There are many under-insured, unlicensed, and even unscrupulous tree service companies in the area.

Therefore, in this blog, we offer tips and suggestions on what to consider when selecting a tree service in Jacksonville.

Licensed Service

Are they licensed in the state of Florida and do they have insurance, both for their business (liability) and their workers (workers compensation)? This question is the most important aspect of your research into area tree service companies.

Without the proper licensing and insurance, you as the property owner, expose yourself to both financial and legal risks if an accident should happen. Always ask those you are receiving tree service estimates from if they hold the proper licensing and insurances.

Qualifications

Do they have the necessary credentials and qualifications? There are several tree care associations in the country that are signs a tree service company is properly credentialed and qualified. These include the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and the International Society of Arborists (ISA). Further the Better Business Bureau is always a good general source for information about a business’s reputation.

Offer Estimates

Do they provide a written estimate and detail all the work estimates? Always get a firm written estimate that details the exact nature of work to be performed. We have seen numerous situations where work is not documented only to expose the property owner to additional expenses when the work is performed. Further, make sure the estimate details the exact use of equipment to be used. You don’t want to discover the day of the job that heavy equipment will be used potentially damaging your lawn and landscape.

Did you obtain multiple estimates for the work, and did you compare and contrast these estimates? Obtaining several (at least 3) estimates is wise in that it will provide you with a variety of opinions, costs, and approaches. However, all estimates will not be the same, so it is further prudent to assess each estimate in terms of the work scope involved. A more expensive estimate actually might not be more expensive if it involves more work.

References

Did you obtain references from multiple sources? Obtain references from the tree service business themselves and make sure they are current (within 1-3 months). Old references are not necessarily indicative of current business practices. Additionally, check online reference sources, such as Google, Facebook, Yelp, etc. These sources provide a variety of reference material and will help you make a better decision.

How to pick a qualified, professional Jacksonville tree service to perform tree removal or tree trimming need not be difficult using these suggestions. Just following these guidelines and you will be assured of hiring a top-notch tree care company.

Tree Pruning in Jacksonville Florida

Proper Tree Pruning in Jacksonville, Florida
Trees are amazing gifts of nature. They give us so much and we can benefit from them a lot. In return, we need to give them the proper care that they need, so they can thrive longer and healthier. Trees may need different kinds of caring depending on their species and age, and even their location. Pruning is one very important technique to maintain your tree’s health and appearance. That is why it is highly recommended to prune the tree regularly to keep it healthy. Another factor to consider when pruning a tree is where it is located. For example, trees in Jacksonville, Florida are recommended to be pruned only after 2-5 years after being planted. Then after that, you can prune it 1 to 3 years, depending on its type. Just be aware that trees in Florida mostly have shallow roots, so it is important to allow them to root first.
​
Proper Pruning Cuts
It is crucial to know the proper pruning technique to avoid harming the tree. You should cut at the collar of the branch where the branch attaches to the main trunk. When you do this, you also lessen the chance of decay to spread into the main trunk of the tree. Also, always wear proper protective attire when performing tree pruning and use the proper tools to avoid injury.

Pruning of Trees Before a Storm or a HurricanePrune for Strength- eliminating multi-trunks and leaders will stimulate the growth of just one main trunk. It is also important to remove any diseased or injured branches or limbs.


Prune for Form- prune the tree to restore its beautiful form. Eliminate the excess lateral branches to produce a ladder effect when the tree matures.
​
Topping or Hatracking
If there is one thing that professional arborists don’t do to a tree is topping. A huge amount of the canopy is removed from the tree during topping. After it is done, you are only left with branch stubs that can attract pests and insects.
​
Excessive Lifting
This practice is mostly done to pave way for structures and vehicles; however, this is a poor pruning practice. Excessive lifting removes most of the lower branches that will, in turn, cause the tree to be top heavy and will increase the risk of branch failure. Further, it deforms the tree.
​
Choosing a Tree Service
Do not choose just any tree service that offers you their service. It is vital to know the right people to do your tree care because it can be dangerous and it involves risks. Choosing the wrong tree company will cost you more money and may damage your property. Here are some of the thing you should consider when selecting a tree company:
The tree company should have a  License and don’t hesitate to ask for documentation
Should have good reviews on Yelp, Google, and listed in Yellow Pages
Has insurance for property damage and personal liability. Again, ask for documentation.
