Trees provide many benefits for homes and gardens, as well as contributing to property values. As they grow, trees need to be maintained to manage their health, scale and shape to suit the location and available space.
-
Dmitri provides arborist consultations on a wide spectrum of issues relating to trees. He can create health and hazard assessments and short- and long-term tree management plans.
He routinely consults for clients prior to residential or commercial construction and remodeling projects. He can provide detailed recommendations for minimizing damage to trees during construction.
Arborist consultations can be formal or informal, verbal or written reports, depending on the needs of the client.
-
Trees should also be regularly inspected for health and safety, to identify and address possible hazards such as weak limb attachments, cracks that may affect structural integrity, and infection.
Dmitri is an ISA Qualified Tree Risk Assessor.
-
Proper tree selection means taking the climate, soil conditions, future tree size, and the root spread into account for the location.
Some problems manifesting later in a tree’s life can be traced back to the time of planting.
-
Sometimes a tree needs to come down for any number of reasons - we can help you with that.
Some trees are not able to be removed due to local ordinances, if that is the case, we will not be able to remove your tree.
Pruning Styles & Techniques
| Cloud Pruning | Pruning limbs to create space between them and flatten the top and bottom of the foliage, giving the appearance of “clouds.”
| Crown Cleaning | Pruning to remove dead, dying, diseased, broken or poorly attached branches, and crossing or rubbing branches.
| Crown Density Reduction | Removal of material throughout the inside of the tree. For the purpose of reducing the overall size of the tree’s canopy.
| Vista Pruning | Restores views where they are obscured by trees. The arborist carves windows through the canopy, enabling clear views from the residence, patios or decks.
| Topiary | The shaping of a hedge to achieve and maintain certain shapes or angles to fit a particular landscape architecture.
| Structural Pruning | Pruning young trees or a tree that has not been pruned for many years to remove duplicating branches, branches with narrow attachment angles, and to define the future structure of the tree.
| Crown Shaping | Trimming to enhance the visual appearance of the tree.
| Crown Raising | Removal of lower limbs of trees in order to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles and pedestrians. Primarily applies to trees in urban landscape settings.
| Pollarding | The annual removal of new growth back to the nodes, creating a knobby branch structure in the winter. This technique is not to be confused with "topping."
