Beyond Pruning: Comprehensive Tree Care
While pruning is a crucial aspect of tree care, it's just one part of our holistic approach to arboriculture. We offer a full range of services to keep your trees healthy and beautiful:
Tree Health Assessments: Our certified arborists conduct regular check-ups to catch and address issues early. We use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate your trees' overall health, identify potential problems, and recommend proactive treatments.
Plant Health Care: We develop customized programs to nourish and protect your trees. This may include soil analysis, targeted fertilization, pest management, and disease prevention strategies tailored to your specific landscape and tree species.
Cabling and Bracing: For trees with structural weaknesses, we install support systems to reduce the risk of failure. Our experts use industry-approved techniques and materials to provide additional support without compromising the tree's natural growth.
Lightning Protection: We safeguard valuable trees from storm damage by installing discreet lightning protection systems. These systems help direct lightning strikes safely into the ground, protecting your trees and nearby structures.
Tree Planting and Transplanting: Expand your landscape with expert guidance on species selection, placement, and care. We ensure proper planting techniques and provide aftercare instructions to give your new trees the best start possible.
Tree Removal: While we always prioritize preservation, sometimes removal is necessary for safety or landscape management. Our team performs careful, efficient removals when needed, always considering the impact on surrounding vegetation and structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
It varies by species and situation, but most mature trees benefit from pruning every 3-5years. Young trees may need more frequent attention to establish proper structure.
Yes, fruit trees require specialized pruning techniques to maximize fruit production and maintain tree health. Our experts are well-versed in the specific needs of various fruit tree species common in Michiana.
For safety reasons, we don't prune trees in direct contact with power lines. We also need to maintain a minimum approach distance (MAD) from power lines when pruning. In most cases, trees need to be at least 10 feet away from power lines for us to prune. Anything closer would require the utility company to prune. That’s why we recommend homeowners have their trees pruned long before they get too close to power lines, as utility companies rarely maintain a tree’s natural form or appearance when pruning.
When done correctly by our certified arborists, pruning actually benefits trees by improving structure, health, and appearance. Improper pruning can harm trees, as it can open the door to pest and disease problems, which is why it's crucial to work with experienced professionals.
Costs vary based on tree size, condition, location, and the extent of work needed. We provide detailed, transparent proposals after a thorough on-site assessment.
No, we never top trees. This outdated practice harms and dramatically reduces their lifespan, while also making them very ugly. We follow strict pruning standards to maximize the health and safety of trees, while also keeping them beautiful. We have other methods for helping to manage tree growth and size (though proper species and site selection are the most important).
