Summer Tips for your Trees from Bhaney and Sons Arborists

Summer Tree Tips

Trees should be watered during dry, hot periods when there is no rainfall for two weeks. The equivalent of one inch of rain per two weeks is sufficient. Water can be measured with a rain gauge or straight sided container placed in watering area. Properly watered trees will be healthier and able to resist pests and diseases better.

Along with watering, it is important to look at the leaves of your trees. A problem may exist if the leaves have holes or are shriveling, dropping, turning yellow, brown or early fall color.

It is important this year, to check for structural problems of your trees. For example, crotches are weak from the draught of the last few years, and are splitting. We can strengthen week areas with cable and bracing techniques.

Consulting an arborist is the best way to begin fixing the problem or at least minimizing the damage. Remember to check the credentials of arborists, and beware of disreputable tree companies. The uninsured tree worker you hire today, could own your home tomorrow. Beware of door-to-door solicitors, demands for pre-payment, jobs sold without written estimates or work orders.

Why Hire an Arborist


Choosing an Arborist:

Hiring a tree care specialist takes some planning and consideration. A few simple questions asked in advance may prevent costly, long-lasting mistakes. Check credentials. Arborculture training can be obtained through university degree programs, on the job training and certification classes. Make sure the company you choose employs personnel with the proper training for the job. Verify that the company carries liability and workman's compensation insurance. A company should be willing to supply a certificate of insurance upon request.

Don't be afraid to ask for references. This is a great way to see how well past work was performed, and if the company completed everything that was promised.

When comparing prices, remember lowest isn't necessarily best. Know how the work is to be performed and be sure the company has the proper equipment for the job.

Once the choice is made, be sure your contract is complete with all the details in writing and signed by a company representative, then pay your bill only after the work is completed.
