With the trained eye of a skilled arborist, we can identify trees in need of structural support. Weak crotches, such as V-shaped unions with included bark, and heavy sections that struggle to support themselves can pose risks. By carefully and strategically installing steel cabling with state-of-the-art hardware, we can enhance the structural integrity of your trees while prioritizing safety.
Trees will almost always experience some level of insect damage or disease. An experienced arborist can accurately diagnose and treat issues when intervention is necessary. Environmental considerations play a crucial role in treatment decisions, as chemicals can be hazardous and should only be applied by trained professionals. The best approach to minimizing insect and disease problems is regular tree health monitoring and proactive maintenance.
Fertilization is important in keeping your trees healthy. A soil sample should be done to know exactly what deficiencies are present. Careful consideration should be taken with mature trees and certain species of trees when fertilizing. A basic fertilization application would include nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium with micro-nutrients. Certain other ingredients may be needed to help promote root growth and better root uptake and absorption. Soil compaction is very common in the trees root area and will limit the oxygen available to your root system. By Fertilizing you will also aerate the soil in the root area, creating macro pores which is the space in the soil oxygen is found to prevent suffocating your trees.
When trees are damaged or downed by a storm, it is crucial to leave the work to trained professionals. Storm-damaged trees can be extremely hazardous, especially when large limbs are under high tension or entire trees are leaning on structures. Attempting to remove them without proper expertise and equipment can put lives at risk.

At Passion For Trees, our highly skilled professionals have the experience to handle storm-damaged trees safely and efficiently. We work with many insurance companies to help you restore safety to your property and get back into your home as quickly as possible.
Trees with dead branches, decayed sections, or weak V-shaped crotches (included bark) can pose significant dangers. Hidden hazards such as internal rot, stress cracks, and even wildlife like squirrels, bees, and raccoons can make a tree even more unpredictable.

In some cases, trees grow in confined spaces, near buildings, or close to power lines, requiring extreme caution and strategic planning for safe removal. The use of modern equipment—including ropes, pulleys, lowering devices, specialized rigging knots, tag lines, and winch lines—is essential for controlled and precise tree work.
For the most hazardous and complex removals, such as severely compromised trees in high-risk areas, a crane may be necessary to ensure safety. Even for the most experienced tree professionals, these situations require skill, expertise, and the utmost caution.
When removing trees in areas with sprinkler systems or well-maintained lawns, proper care and technique are essential to prevent unnecessary damage. A professional tree service should never leave behind large holes or torn-up grass, claiming it was the only way to complete the job.

Depending on the tree and its location, there are specialized techniques that can minimize or even eliminate ground disturbance. These methods take more time, planning, and precision, which may increase costs—but the end result is well worth it. Hiring a skilled professional ensures your landscape remains intact while the job is done safely and efficiently.
Trees growing near electrical wires are among the most dangerous to work on. At Passion For Trees, our team is highly trained and continuously undergoes ongoing education to ensure the highest level of safety and expertise.
When it comes to working around electricity, there is a critical difference between simply knowing and truly knowing how to perform the job safely. Electrocution can occur in multiple ways, and being Line Clearance Certified is not always enough—some situations are simply too hazardous to attempt with the power on.
If your service wires are rubbing against or touching your trees, it is essential to hire a well-trained, experienced professional to handle the job safely. Never take risks when it comes to tree work near power lines.
After tree removal, we use a wood chipper to process branches into wood chips—one of the most efficient methods of disposal. These wood chips can then be repurposed as mulch, providing numerous benefits for your landscape. Mulch helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, suppress weeds, and improve overall soil health, making it a great addition to your trees and plants.
When tree wood needs to be removed, we use a ground-friendly machine designed to lift and transport the wood with minimal to no damage to your lawn. If you prefer to keep the wood, we can cut it into firewood-length pieces, perfect for your wood stove or fireplace. Our goal is to provide a hassle-free process while preserving the integrity of your landscape.
The most economical way to remove your unsightly tree stump is to use a STUMP GRINDER, a less abrasive process than traditional stump removal, resulting in great cost savings and eliminating damage to your lawn. We offer this service and grind the stumps 4 - 8 inches below the ground. As an added bonus, stump grinding creates mulch which you can then use around your yard in flowerbeds, gardens and around trees. You can simply have us remove the grindings as well. You then can fill the hole with top soil and plant grass. The end result is like there was never a tree there.
