Storm damage

Arbor Aesthetics are the Experts in Storm Damaged Trees. Arboriculture is the science of tree care. The International Society of Arboriculture is a worldwide organization dedicated to the care and preservation of trees. They stake their reputation on their certification program which confers the title of Certified Arborist on experienced and properly trained tree experts. A Certified Arborist must have a minimum of three years' experience in tree care and he or she must pass an exam developed by an international panel of experts. Some tree companies are owned by certified arborists while other companies may have one on staff. When you call for service, the arborist will come out and assess the storm damage to your trees and explain the best way to repair the tree if it is salvageable. This expert is also vital to ensuring that the kind of work that is done by that company's crews is consistent with the standards and practices of arboriculture.

Tree Pruning

Pruning is the cutting or removing branches or parts of trees or for improving the shape or growth of trees. This is the most common tree maintenance procedure. Usually, trees are pruned as a preventative or corrective measure to remove dead branches, crowded or rubbing limbs, eliminate hazards, and increase light and air penetration. Since each cut to a tree has the potential to change the growth, it is important to educate yourself, considering no branch should be removed without any reason.

Tree Cabling and Bracing

Trees can grow in such a manner that their physical structure can no longer support their own weight. This is particularly common in mature multi-trunked trees and trees with open canopies. Failure of a large branch or trunk can result in property damage, personal injury, or the decline of a tree's health. Cables and bracing rods are tools arborists use to protect or improve the structural integrity of trees.

Lightning protection

Lightning can damage and even destroy trees, and resulting fires can lead to the destruction of forests and homes. If you have a tree with particular historical or sentimental value, or a tree that borders or touches a building, it is a good idea to install a lightning protection system to avoid the risk of destruction or fire. Lightning protection systems employ a copper rod that channels the positive charge of the ground to the air above the tree, where it meets the negative charge of the lightning bolt. The rod then conducts the lightning bolt down its length and into the ground, neutralizing it and preventing it from harming the tree. It is highly recommended that a professional install your lightning protection system, as improperly installed systems can actually increase the risk of lightning strikes.
