Trees are loved for their beauty as much as for their cool shade and protection from the wind. They are never more visually appealing than in the fall when their brilliant green leaves have changed to vivid shades of orange, red or yellow. These colors are part of a natural process that helps to keep the trees alive and healthy. The appearance of certain colors is not a random occurrence.
You value your shade trees for both their attractiveness in your landscape and the ample shade they bring your lawn in the warmer months. Caring for your shade trees allows them to grow to their healthiest potential.
There are many ways you can care for your shade trees so they provide the most shade and grow to their greatest heights without creating a disturbance in your yard. Here are ways you can maintain your shade trees so you can get the most out of their presence in your yard.
Druid Tree Service Inc. provides beneficial service to assist survey crews and planning drafters by providing expertise in tree management. As eco-consciousness grows among designers for urban and suburban civil engineering, nature is increasingly becoming a part of the planning. In previous years, developers would purchase large swaths of land and clear-cut the existing trees and plant life with the only oversight being soil erosion management.
Thankfully, times have changed and instead of eradicating the natural beauty of the property to be developed, the engineers and designers are utilizing the natural features and standing trees into the overall scope of the project. Tree management is now a valuable service we provide to the planners to map and detail the tree types, the terrain, plant life, and other information for protection and environmental compliance.
As a member of the American Society of Consulting Arborists, our professional insight is well respected in builder, legal, and ecological circles alike. Not only do we help save the natural environment, we also save money for developer and avoid legal problems as well. Druid Tree Service Inc. looks forward to meeting with you and helping you in any way we can, call us today!
