Additional Tree Services

Proper tree care is essential to keeping your trees in good shape. Removal, regular maintenance and other services can make all the difference when it comes to the aesthetic value, health and safety of trees on your residential or commercial property. At Forest Tree Services, we offer several professional services to ensure your trees reach their full potential.

Available Tree Care Services

Our team of experts is available to help with any project. Here’s a look at some of the services we offer.

Stump Grinding

Following tree removal, you’ll be left with the tree’s stump still in the ground. Depending on the size and location, stumps can be unsightly and awkward or even dangerous tripping hazards. Grinding is a process that chips away at the stump with a sharp blade to make the wood level with the ground. Our team has the professional equipment and training to remove tree stumps and make your property safer.

Tree Shaping

Do you have a particular vision in mind for your trees? We offer tree shaping services to help you create the designs you want. Trimming and pruning allow you to mold the visual appearance of your trees and control factors like shade and wind resistance. Tree shaping is also great for improving the structural integrity and overall health of your trees.

Tree Training

Tree training is a process that prepares trees for proper development. In contrast to pruning grown trees, this service focuses on shaping young trees and providing them with a strong foundation. Directing tree growth early on allows you to avoid corrections and significant cutting later. Tree training will give you influence over the shape and style of young trees and expand their healthy life spans.

Tree Thinning

Thinning is one of the most common tree care services, and it offers a variety of benefits. Tree thinning consists of removing live branches to shape the tree and reduce its density. You can thin your trees for cosmetic and practical reasons. Reducing crown or canopy density allows for greater wind resistance, more sunlight and less weight throughout the tree. 

Height Reduction

If you have a tree on your property that has outgrown its space or sustained damage, height reduction is a useful strategy to relieve stress on the tree. Height reduction entails trimming the crown to reduce its spread. Unlike the harmful topping method, height reduction is a careful pruning process that will leave a smaller, healthier canopy.

Crown Raising

The crown raising process removes the lower branches of a tree, enabling greater access under the crown for people or objects. This pruning also increases sunlight penetration. Our certified professionals will determine the best course of action to maximize efficiency and protect the health of your trees.

Root Excavation

Root crown or collar excavation removes soil from around the base of a tree to detect rot or disease. We’ll remove the excess dirt and debris to expose potential issues and determine effective solutions to get your tree’s health back on track.
