Tree care is not something that should be left up to chance. In fact, it is important to hire the right professional to care for your trees. An arborist is a certified tree care specialist that has the training and the skills to ensure your trees are healthy and well-nourished. Five Star Tree Services discusses the importance of working with an arborist below. What is a Certified Arborist? An arborist is a professional tree caretaker that has been formally trained. They are highly knowledgeable in the science of maintaining trees, tree planting, and caring for trees and all other plant life. Only those who are seasoned in the field can become certified by the International Society of Arboriculture. Each arborist is given rigorous exams that test their skill and knowledge base in arboriculture. If you don’t pass, you can’t get certified, pretty simple! How an Arborist Can Help With Your Trees There are several ways that a professional, certified arborist can help with your regular tree care needs. Pruning – Keeping your trees pruned helps their health, encourages growth, and helps to give them an attractive natural form. Dead branches or poor performing branches much be removed with care and in a specific manner. Healthcare – A qualified arborist will be able to diagnose tree diseases and spot pest infestations. Once diagnosed, they are also able to suggest and perform the proper treatments to bring your tree back to optimal health. They are also able to offer emergency care following a storm. Planting – Planting a tree is a great way to improve the look of your yard and add to the local environment. Working with a specialist will ensure that you not only choose the right kind of tree for your climate, but they will also help you choose where to plant that tree so that it thrives. Removal- Sometimes trees do fail and when they do, they need to be removed. A tree care specialist will be able to preform a tree removal or a stump removal safely. Skills and Expectations of a Certified Arborist Certified arborists have a minimum of three years of practical experience. In addition to that, they are expected to stay up to date on changes in the arboriculture field. There is more to tree care than simply planting and watering. Regular maintenance such as pruning, trimming, and soil feeding is also required. Maintaining healthy trees can boost the curb appeal and the value of your property in addition to enriching your local eco-system. Choosing a qualified certified arborist will ensure that your trees will be well maintained and that aesthetics of your landscape will remain intact.

Taking care of plants, trees or shrubs may seem easy, but for many homeowners, the task is riddled with complications.

In addition to taking care of your plant life, they will also offer you instructions on how to care for your plants when they are unavailable. Make sure to take care in who you decide to hire. Instead of choosing the first company you find or the lowest priced plant care service, first you should research their qualifications by asking about how they usually care for trees, what their pruning style is, and how often they plan to visit for seasonal care. If they are not willing to answer your questions or educate you on the proper tree and plant care, keep searching. Proper Tree Care Starts With You Tree care starts with the property owner. The moment you chose a tree and how you care for it once it has been planted, will shape its health for the rest of its life.

Trees, like people, are living beings that need care, nutrition, and a healthy environment in order to thrive. Although tree death is a normal part of their life cycle, with the right care and proper conditions, they can live for thousands of years. Trees are an important part of our environment, and without them, humanity itself will cease to thrive. Therefore, it is important that we do everything possible to properly care for the trees on our property and in our area to maintain their vitality. The Benefits of Commercial Tree Care Here at Five Star Tree Services, we care about the environment and have dedicated our business to pruning, cutting, and maintaining trees and hedges. We offer a wide range of services at a price you can afford. Below, we have put together a shortlist of reasons why you should schedule regular commercial tree care services for your property. Reduce Liability A sick tree or a dead branch can cause bodily harm to a person if they happen to be near the tree when it falls. If you own a business, however, there is more to falling branches than the potential for harm or property damage. A customer, employee, or contractor who is hurt by a falling branch or tree on your property has the right to sue. This can cause strain on your business and destroy your good image. Working with a professional Toronto tree care company will ensure that the trees on your property are always healthy and well maintained to prevent accidents. Healthy Trees There is no purpose in keeping dead branches on your tree. Not only do they occupy space, but they also sap nutrients that your tree needs to thrive. Dead branches are also a hazard since they can fall down at any time. Depending on the size of the branch, this can cause property damage or injury. Regular tree care by a professional company keeps dead branches to a minimum and provides protection to your family, customers, and property at the same time. Aesthetics Everyone likes to look at a nice lawn, colourful garden, and well-maintained trees. For commercial locations, customers are more prone to visit stores and businesses that present a well-kept exterior over those that don’t. Quality is always more important than looks, but in the world of commerce, appearances can spur higher quantities of foot traffic. Additionally, when curb appeal increases, property value increases. This is great if you plan on selling it in the future. Proper Maintenance It is easy to ask your employees or your kids to take care of your lawn, but chances are, it is a well-hated chore. Tree care, on the other hand, is not something that should be left up to chance, or handled by those with no experience. When you hire Five Star Tree Services, our team will ensure that the needs of your trees are met and that they are properly maintained.

Owning a property with beautiful trees is a blessing, especially when those trees are more than a decade old. Established trees are often a selling point due to their aesthetic appeal and natural environmental benefits. Not only will trees create a sense of serenity, but they will also offer privacy for your family in the form of green foliage. Trees can do a lot for your property, but it is really important to invest in tree care to ensure that they thrive. Hiring the professionals here at Five Star Tree Services will keep your trees healthy and well pruned, and here are a few reasons why. Professional Tree Care Advantages There are various species of trees all of which need specialized care. Some may thrive in full sun while others need partial or full shade. Moisture needs will vary from season to season in addition to species to species. Even the age of a tree can dictate the type of care it needs to thrive. Professional tree care services are able to properly care for your trees in a way that ensures they get the best care possible. Tree care specialists are trained in the care of hundreds if not thousands of tree species which gives them the knowledge to offer customized services for every yard. Professional Tree Care Equipment A professional tree service will also have all of the right tools needed to get the job done. Equipping your shed for proper tree care can get expensive, and chances are you won’t have the right skills required to operate all of the equipment needed for professional tree care. Hiring the professionals will ensure that the right tools and the right knowledge is used to care for the trees on your property. Consistent Maintenance As we already mentioned, different types of trees need different care. They also need their care to be administered on a regular basis. Homeowners no matter how well-meaning can become lax on regular maintenance, but with a professional service, you never have to worry. Tree care services can come out on a set schedule to prune, water, feed, and care for your trees. This will ensure they are always healthy and will better enable you to spot problems that develop before they are too serious to treat. Your trees will also get trimmed properly and on schedule which will add to the overall aesthetic appeal of your yard. Neat Yard Keeping your yard neat and tidy is very important. It will help reduce the chance of pests hanging out on your property and increase the curb appeal of your home. Working with a professional company gives you years worth of experience that will come into play when landscaping and shaping the look of your yard. Safe Tree Care Trimming a tree and other tree care can be dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. Not only can you get hurt in a fall, but improper tool operation can also result in injuries. A professional tree care company will have the training and the safety equipment needed to minimize the risks while caring for the trees on your property.
