Tree Pruning:

Tree pruning is accomplished by knowledgeable staff who have been trained to first identify the tree then provide the proper pruning to the tree without compromising the health of the tree being pruned.  Brothers' Tree Service has skilled climbers who access the canopy of the tree through a series of climbing techniques utilizing rope, saddle and other specialized equipment.  When accessible we also use our 60 ft bucket truck to effortlessly move through the canopy of the tree.  Below is a photo of Michael climbing a large tulip tree to prune and cable it.

Stump Grinding:   

There are many ways to remove a stump.  Grinding the stump is the safest, most efficient way. Grinding also provides the least amount of damage to the surrounding area compared to pulling the stump.  Grinding is done with one of our two stump grinding machines and a skilled operator.  The stump is ground into wood chips and contained in the area by our system of guards and tarps.  We then offer to clean up the debris and install topsoil, grass seed and straw in place of that undesirable stump, leaving you with one less obstacle to mow around and one less trip hazard. 

 

Insect and disease diagnosis and treatment:  

Our licensed arborist can diagnose the problems with your trees. When the problem is identified, a certified spray technician will apply the control as prescribed by our arborist.  Some examples of insects are Hemlock wooly adelgid, spider mites, scale, bronze birch borer, weevils, caterpillars, etc..

Air Excavation:  

When we have to access the root system for inspection or to lessen soil compaction we use a tool called an air spade.  With the help of a powerful air compressor, this tool lets us remove the soil surrounding the roots without damage to fine root hairs needed for the trees survival.        

 

Tree planting: A properly planted tree will add value and beauty to your property.  Our arborist is knowlegeable in selecting the right tree for your space.  We will also plant a memorial tree in honor of a loved one.  Here we are planting balled and burlaped Himalayan birch trees (Betula jacquemonti).

Anti-transpirant applications:  As part of our plant health care options we offer protection for your shrubs or newly planted trees.  This application protects plants from moisture loss due to drought, winter damage, and transplantation. It will extend the quality and duration of cut Christmas trees, greenery and holly (allows early Christmas Tree harvest.)  Antitranspirants such as Transfilm are applied to leaf surfaces to relieve the plant from water stress. Coating leaves with a clear thin film can provide a water-impermeable layer to reduce transpiration.
