We promote the saving of trees whenever possible.
Unfortunately, the removal of trees may become necessary.
There are many reasons trees must be removed, such as new construction, overgrown trees encroaching on buildings, dead or dying trees and root damage to sewer and septic. All removals performed by Johnson Tree Service are handled with the greatest precision and care. Our highly trained team of arborists will all but eliminate the risk of damage to adjacent homes, trees and other structures. We use only the best ropes, rigging and advanced techniques to accomplish our goal. You can trust your property will be safe in our hands.
Once your old tree is removed, the remaining stump might seem decorative, but it’s often unsightly and hazardous and attracts pests. Johnson Tree Service can efficiently grind unwanted stumps and visible surface roots roots 6” to 12” below grade, typically taking half an hour to two hours, depending on the stump’s size.
Stump grinding equipment uses specially designed carbide teeth on a cutter wheel, cutting the stump into small chips. The resulting debris can be recycled to fill the stump’s hole, used as decorative mulch, or removed. After removal, you can transform the space with fresh grass, or an attractive flower bed. With our state-of-the-art equipment and commitment to safety, you can trust us to get the job done right.
It has been said that the pruning of trees and treatment of wounds are probably the most important of all tree maintenance practices. When promptly completed, correct pruning can do much to reduce the effects of storm damage and prevent insect and disease problems in shade trees. Aside from being more pleasing in appearance, properly pruned shade trees will normally remain healthier and live longer than uncared for and unpruned trees. Insect problems and wood decay often enter a tree through a dead branch or wounds resulting from injury.
Prompt treatment of such conditions, such as pruning where necessary, will usually prevent the effects of the injury from causing further damage to the tree.
When done properly, pruning will usually serve to invigorate (stimulate) a tree as it allows more of the food material that the tree produces to be used by the remaining parts of the tree.
Since each healthy leaf on the tree can manufacture food, one should always keep in mind the relationship between total leaf area remaining on the tree after pruning and future growth of the tree.
Trees and other woody plants are pruned for a variety of reasons. The purpose for which the tree is being grown will greatly influence the time, amount, and type of pruning that is given. As an example, pruning for forestry purposes
differs considerably from pruning by utility crews to maintain line clearance on power line rights-of-way. Let us look briefly at some of the main reasons for pruning in general, with a more detailed discussion of the reasons that shade and ornamental trees are pruned.
When pruning shade and ornamental trees we are most commonly concerned with improving or maintaining the tree in an attractive and vigorous condition or repairing damage due to storms. Pruning may be divided into two general classifications, training and maintenance pruning. Training indicates the type of pruning that is done while the tree is young to develop a desired form or shape. Maintenance pruning is that which id done to keep the tree in a productive and healthy condition. Some specific reasons for prunig trees include the following: Apperance: Pruning a tree to bring it into its natural form or prevent the development of poorly shaped branches. Health: The removal of damaged, diseased or insect infestedparts of the tree to prevent the entranceof wood decaying organisms. other examples might include the removal of live branches to create conditionsfavorable for air movement and the entrance of sunlight into the inner portion of the crown. Rubbing and overlapping branches are often removed to prevent future damage and decay. Dead branch stubs should always be removed to the branch collar to promote rapid closure and prevent further decay. Older trees my be pruned more aggressively in a effort to revitalize them. Saftey: Pruning for safety is often considered to be the most important of all tree maintenance practices. Dead and broken limbs present a constant danger to humans, buildings, wires and other property's. The removal of branches with included bark is another example of pruning for safety. This type of pruning anticipates future damage and removes the cause before actual damage occurs.. Other less common reasons for pruning might include pruning to open up a vista.
