Over time, trees become susceptible to various problems such as wood decay, etc. Some trees also tend to gradually fall apart, before they get ill and die. This is where our Specialty Arborist Services come in. We provide a range of these specialized services that include:

Tree structure evaluations
As part of this service, our experts will evaluate the trees on your property and identify problems (if any) well before they turn into a major one. Our first priority as arborists that care for older trees or even overgrown ones, is to evaluate their level of structural integrity. Once we’ve ascertained that, we can then provide remedial treatments that help reduce the tree root, stem and branch failures. The different types of tree defects we lookout for are:

Cracks and splits
Weak branches
Hanging or dead branches
Poor structure
Root-related defects
Lot clearing
When any plot of land is purchased and a structure has to be built on it (residential or commercial), the property will first have to be cleared of all the trees and brush before any kind of development can start. We at Nelson Tree Specialist provide excellent Lot Clearing Services in Baltimore, Columbia, Ellicott City, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring & Rockville to commercial as well as residential customers. We can handle projects of any scale and complexity and have the expertise and experience to handle them in the best possible way.

Crown Thinning
This is another Specialty Arborist Service in Maryland that we’ve been providing for a number of years now. When our expert arborists are handling this job, they will selectively remove certain live branches to reduce the density of the tree crowns. This allows sunlight & wind to freely pass through, which enhances the durability of large trees in case a storm or gusty winds hit the area.
