    Episode 8: 6 Important Questions You Must Ask Your Shortlisted Tree Removal Companies
    May 19 2022
    6 Queries To Ask A Tree Removal Service Do You Have References? We recommend starting the inspection by looking at the company’s references. Ask them where you can read their client reviews. This will help you decide whether the tree removal service is reputable or not. How many experiences Do You Have? Followed by the first question, ask the tree removal company how many years they have been in the industry. This will help you analyze the expertise and experience of the tree removal service for your job. “New” companies might not be the best fit, especially if the tree removal job seems complicated. But this may not always be the case. Some young companies have more expert arborists than age-old ones. Additionally, ask specific questions related to your job. A truly experienced service has seen and done all sorts of tree removal jobs. They will be able to resolve your issues and complications easily. Do You Have Licenses And Insurance? The next clear indicator of the tree removal service’s legitimacy is its license and insurance. If the company has both, rest assured that your property and trees are in safe hands. This is so vital as many things can go wrong while removing trees. You can even ask to have a look at their policies. Can I Get The Price Estimate? It’s important to know whether your shortlisted company offers a detailed price estimate. This way, you can plan your budget precisely. Besides, by getting the cost estimate, you can compare it with other companies too. Make sure you’re getting a good offer and a fair ratio of price and quality. Watch out for red flags. For instance – if the prices are too low (and company promises are too good to be true), it means that the tree removal service lacks adequate experience, How Will You Conduct The Job? Next, you need to get a clear picture of the company’s methods and work ethics. For this, ask them a simple but precise question – “How do you plan to do the job?”. An experienced tree removal service can answer this question confidently. They can explain in detail how the company will approach your task. If the professional hesitates to answer this question, cut their name from your shortlisted companies. How Long Will The Work Take? The last good pointer of a dependable company is to ask them how long it will take to complete the project. If they provide you with any kind of estimated time, well and good. But in case the company has no clear answers, this is surely a major red flag situation. This implies that they have no experience (as they advertise). We advise you to run away from them and go for genuine and professional tree service in Rochester.

    Episode 7: Tips For Best Types of Trees To Plant According To Your Location
    May 13 2022
    Tips for selecting the best kind of plants for your property The Right Species If your chosen plant can grow with care by itself, then it’s best for the tree and as well as for you. Go for native Rochester tree species, as they can adapt themself wherever you plant them. They are always the less problematic ones, as they fit the local conditions of Rochester. Some native Rochester trees and shrubs include red/black/white Oaks, White Pine, American Holly, Ash, American Elms, Shagbark hickory, Pignut hickory, Pitch Pine, etc. Choosing a native species is a part, but the location also impacts the kind of tree you should plant. For instance, you cannot plant a White Oak on your sidewalks. Calling the best tree services in Rochester NY, as Branch Specialists can always solve all problems related to your greens. On the other hand, choosing exotic types of trees to plant could be problematic as they demand more annual care and maintenance. Also, exotic trees can be stressed as they aren’t prepared for the Rochester climate. These conditions leave them more prone to fungi, local pathogens, and other issues. How to choose your planting site? Enough space You need to choose suitable sites for different types of trees to plant. Any tree needs a minimum of 10 feet of clearance from underground utilities, power lines, and paved surfaces like the streets and sidewalks. To estimate this, we visualize the room you’ll need for the full-grown tree rather than the sapling. Proper soil Little roots are tender. It is hard for them to break through solid clay-filled soil. In some cases, they might pass through the solid clay, but the roots also need oxygen. Sometimes you see surface roots around a maple tree. It is because you’ve compact soil, so the roots are rising to breathe. Proper sunlight Different types of trees to plant need a different amount of sunlight. Trees like redbuds and dogwoods need filtered sunlight. With our experience as the best tree care services, we can help you choose the right spot with proper sunlight for your tree. Also, in case your grown-up tree needs relocation, our tree removal service can do it for you. Finding You The Perfectly Fitted Tree At Branch Specialists, we are equipped with expert professionals, knowledge, and resources. We will gently check your soil compaction and plant the ideal tree on your property. Get the best types of trees to plant with us in Rochester.

  • Episode 6: Tips to Restore Your Yard After Stump Grinding and Removal

    Episode 6: Tips to Restore Your Yard After Stump Grinding and Removal
    Apr 6 2022
    Restore the Soil and Grass First, ensure the hollowed stump hole is filled correctly and covered with soil. Then start preparing the ground to encourage plant and grass growth. You can also get some quality lawn soil to guarantee that the grass grows quickly and looks greener. After the ground is set, apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer and cover it with topsoil, followed by a layer of compost. Mix all the layers with a hand tiller, and then leave your ground for a little while to settle and blend the area with the rest of the lawn. Lastly, sprinkle some grass seeds on top and then deeply water the area. You will need to water the space every day to prevent it from drying out. Build a Flower Bed One of the most brilliant ways to refurbish your yard after stump grinding is to cover it with a flower bed. Flowers don’t have deep roots like trees. Hence the left-out roots won’t hinder your flowers. So let your creative self out, plan out the shape and type of flowers you want and start designing your yard with some beautiful and fragrant flora. Important Tip: Before you go out and get supplies, prepare the flower-bed space carefully by Removing excess wood chips and grass from the flower areaRaking the landBuilding an edgePouring some compost and topsoil over the site Create a Water Feature or Stone Path Now that the tree and its stump are gone, you can build any new features on the cleared land. The most preferred choices are a stone walkway and an appealing water feature. While you may be tempted to make this one a “DIY” project, trust us, it will be more beneficial for you if you hire a professional landscaping company for this. Contact our team, and we will help you find the right company that provides the same quality in landscaping services as Branch Specialists provide in tree services.
