Advanced Tree Care Details Tree Care Services for Homeowners

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. - Feb. 13, 2019 - PRLog -- As a homeowner, you're responsible for the health and care of the trees on your property. But what are the various residential tree care services—and what does service entail?

Tree pruning
A certified arborist directs pruning, which can be done in most seasons for most types of trees (some species do best with pruning during dormancy).

• Class 1, or fine pruning, is a very detailed inspection in which the full tree is pruned. All dead limbs are removed, and branches are thinned. It is the most common type of pruning for residential projects.
• Class 2 is general pruning, which is less extensive and less expensive. Only dead limbs are removed. General pruning needs to be performed more frequently than fine pruning.
• Class 3, also called safety pruning, is the removal of dangerous limbs that could pose a safety hazard in high winds, intense storms, or with the added weight of snow or ice.

Tree removal
Trees are removed for various reasons, including disease, decline, and damage. Because tree removal can be complex and dangerous, it is best conducted by a professional tree service led by a certified arborist.

Tree stump removal
Stump grinding is the most effective form of stump removal. There are five different methods for stump grinding, and a certified arborist will help determine which is the most effective way for a particular project or situation.

Land clearing and restoration
New construction or extensive renovation often require planting a residential landscape from scratch. An experienced staff can remove old, dead, diseased, or unsuitable trees and plants, and design a new landscape for a residential site.

Maintenance programs
At Advanced Tree Care, our programs give trees proper service and periodic care so they look their best and thrive at their healthiest. Our two primary programs are Advanced Gold and Advanced Silver. We work with homeowners to determine the right fit for the budget and need.

Tree identification and inventory
A full tree inventory creates a baseline for monitoring and caring for the health of your trees. It catalogs the species and condition of your property's trees and notes the presence of any invasive species or problematic pests. Like a plat of survey, the tree inventory notes the position of every tree on the property.

Advanced thermal tree imaging
With the use of infrared technology, examining trees becomes a quick and cost-effective task. Areas that are not visible to the naked eye become very visible to a FLIR (forward-looking resonance imaging) system—and this information allows a certified arborist to make informed decisions regarding treatment or management.
