ZAAAP!

When is the Best Time to Prune?

For months you have been looking at branches and limbs stripped down to their bare bones in Northern Nevada.  It won’t be long now when the rich, bright tones of spring’s bloom are a wonderful welcome to the new season.  You’ll want to make sure your trees have a healthy base that’s for sure!

Knowing when to trim trees keeps them healthy in the long-term while setting them up for a season of robust growth and beauty.  Arborists are in agreement.  Sometime between the changing leaves in fall and flower blooms in spring, your trees need a trim. Anytime between late fall and early spring is best for tree trimming or pruning.

Look up in the Sky…It’s Greg!

When was the last time that you climbed a tree on your property with a chain saw in your hand or strapped to your body?  Really?  I didn’t think so!  Who does that?  A tree professional does that and that should be it!  It must be someone with years of experience and sometimes, the courage of a high-wire walker.

The alternative is to allow trees on your land to grow wildly without trimming.  When you do that, you subject your home and possibly your family to harm.  Trees don’t announce when they are about to topple or shed branches.  Sometimes it is the weather or maybe it is age or disease that causes it to happen.

I am Greg Chavez.  My crew and I are Northern Nevada’s tree professionals.  If you are skeptical visit www.thetreeprofessional.com.  Look at our photo gallery.  There I am flirting with the clouds with a chain saw in my hand!  Call me for any removal or trimming that needs to be done on your Reno area property at (775) 420-8694.

To Prune or Not to Prune…that is the Question.

With all due respect to The Bard, that is the question here.  Many landscape disappointments can be avoided if you know when to prune your trees and shrubs. Flower-producing wood might be eliminated inadvertently because of pruning too late or early. Pruning at the right time will avoid some of that disappointment.

Here is a tip…A general rule of thumb in regards to flowering plants is that they generally need three months of vegetational growth in order to set the flowers for the upcoming growing season.  For the most part, the pruning season in Northern Nevada is either behind us or ahead of us.  This is just a helpful tip for the remainder of 2018.

I know, I’ll bet a tree professional knows the answers to your pruning and tree removal questions.  Best of all, he or she also knows the proper and safe way to do it!  In that latter case we are very fortunate to have THE Tree Professional right here in Reno.  When you need trees or shrubs removed call Greg and the team immediately at (775) 420-8694.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow.

Well, up to a point, of course.  At some point in Northern Nevada the snow creates great havoc with people and shrubbery.  Just ask the Donner party!  Seriously, we want to impart some practical tips on what snowy conditions mean for trees and shrubs in the Reno area.  You need to be prepared for the worst.

If they become damaged pruning is the option.  It is always safety first.  Have a professional inspect your tree(s) for power line contact.  A certified arborist needs to deal with the situation.  Do NOT use a ladder to try to remove excess snow from branches!  Do not leave any stubs when pruning.  The sharpest possible tools must be used.

This is a job for a tree professional.  No, this is a job for THE TREE PROFESSIONAL!  And, guess what?  He is in your back yard.  He is Greg Chavez.  Just visit thetreeprofessional.com and see for yourself.  When heavy snowfall hits the Reno area call the Tree Professional immediately at (775) 420-8694.

Tree Trimming Safety Tips.

When a big ‘ole tree decides to become a problem, it has no respect for what time of year it is.  Reno winters can be very harsh, but if a tree needs to be removed from your property a professional approach must be taken.  Trying to remove a tree as an amateur is a bit like trying to remove a tooth by yourself!

Here is what a professional will do about that hazardous tree –

1.)        Inspect the area around the task.

2.)        Locate any power lines.

3.)        Wait until the weather improves.

4.)        Wearing the proper gear is mandatory.

5.)        If there is pressure then small cuts need to be made to relieve it.

Tree removal (especially this time of year) needs to be done by a Tree Professional.  Who better to do it than The Tree Professionals?  That is the name of the tree removal and trimming service that serves Reno and Northern Nevada.  Never, ever tackle this task by yourself.  Call Greg Chavez of The Tree Professionals at (775) 420-8694.

Did you Notice that Tree?

Perhaps you own a business in the Reno area and you open your doors every day without taking a careful look around your property.  Sometimes, business owners are so absorbed in the bottom line they forget about natural hazards that lurk just outside the front door.  Maybe it is that tree that is coming dangerously close to your building.

Before winter hits with all of its fury, this would be an excellent time to address that issue.  A fallen tree at the wrong time in the wrong place can set your business back for days…or worse, actually harm a customer!  No, no, no not my bread and butter…you need to act immediately if you notice a potentially harmful tree.

Greg Chavez to the rescue!  Greg and his team at The Tree Professionals (nice name, indeed) will handle that menacing tree once and for all quickly and safely.  The Tree Professionals are Northern Nevada’s commercial tree removal experts.  Today is the day to give them a call…just leave a message if it’s nighttime at (775) 420-8694.

Tree Huggers Stay Away!

This a tree you DO NOT want to hug.  It’s a tree that has fallen on or next to a power line.  About one out of five unplanned power outages in America are caused by trees and other vegetation growing too close to power lines.  High winds in Northern Nevada can (and often do) cause trees to fall on lines of communication.

Trees and electricity don’t mix!  Just having a tree growing too close to a power line is a source of great potential danger.  There is the risk of fire in dry conditions.  Electricity can travel from the top of the tree directly to the ground.  Obviously, those that touch such foliage are subject to shock and even electrocution.

So, what’s next?  The answer is obvious.  In the Reno area you call the Tree Professional.  He is Greg Chavez…Northern Nevada’s safe tree remover.  Let his years of expertise come into play as he removes those potential hazards from your property.  Don’t even THINK about doing it yourself!  Call Greg Chavez of The Tree Professional at (775) 420-8694.

The Best Trees to Plant in Nevada.

As the seasons change, the time comes to consider what your property will look like NEXT summer and the seasons beyond.  Did you ever wonder what is considered our plant “hardiness” in the Reno area?  It is registered by a five whereas the southern part of the state with its searing summer climes and moderate winters is an eight.

A particularly great tree for our area is the Norway and Dwarf Alberta Spruce.  Don’t forget the Scarlet and Crimson Maples which will add blazingly beautiful fall colors to your garden.  For privacy on your property, consider planting a row of Thuja Emerald Green, American Holly or Drought Free Evergreens.

Whatever you decide to add to your land always remember the name Greg Chavez.  Greg is a Northern Nevada arborist who will be there when you need trimming, pruning, or removal of any tree on your property.  Learn more about Greg Chavez by visiting www.thetreeprofessional.com.  Then call him whenever you need him at (775) 420-8694.

Time for a Decent Burial.

How do you determine life or death?  Well, it may not be that be simple when the subject is trees on your property.  Here are a few ways to tell if a particular branch is alive or dead.  At first, you might find you need to go up for a closer examination, but over time you’ll start to get a sense from the ground.

Is a branch leafless while its counterparts are flourishing?  Have you noticed that seemingly dead leaves are clinging to a branch while others around it are bare?  Look carefully at the bark.  If it is bare, thereby exposing the smooth wood beneath it that is a sure sign.  The obvious one is noticing large clumps of fungus growing on the tree.

It all adds up to one thing.  Those limbs or that tree need to go.  Knowing when, where, and how are the reasons you contact a tree professional.  In Reno that choice is simple.  You call The Tree Professional…Northern Nevada’s tree health and maintenance experts.  Let them come out and give you an estimate before summer turns quickly to winter by calling (775) 420-8694.

To Prune or Not to Prune.

That is the question.  We are not talking about staying “regular”, although that is a good idea.  The reference here is when and how to have the trees pruned on your property in the Reno Nevada area.  First of all, we want to give you a head’s up now that the ideal time for pruning is in a couple of months when the weather turns.

How to prune is something probably best left to a tree professional.

1.  Dead or dying branches should be removed…a pro will know which ones.

2.  Prune well below any diseased limbs and NOT when they are wet!

3.  When two branches cross…cut off the smaller of the two.

4.  Leave room for plenty of sunlight to reach the middle of the tree.

When you love trees and recognize them as living monuments you take great pride in your work.  That is the case of Greg Chavez and his crew.  They are Northern Nevada’s tree professionals.  Please visit the beautiful gallery and satisfied reviews at www.thetreeprofessional.com.  Then call for an appointment on your property at (775) 420-8694.

Going Out on a Limb.

Did you ever wonder where that expression comes from?  It was used in politics back in the late 1880’s as it was obvious what it meant.  When a politician left the “safety” of the center of the “tree” he was going “out on a limb”.  Everyone knows not to try to climb out on unsafe limbs and try to trim them.

However, what many try to do is a certain amount of tree-trimming that they THINK is safe.  That decision is not only dangerous, but could be downright serious.  Are you really willing to risk your future and your family’s by being some ersatz Paul Bunyan just to save a few dollars and have it done right?

It is not just about the money, but how is the job going to look when you are done.  One of Northern Nevada’s best tree-trimming professionals is Greg Chavez.  If are not convinced then visit www.thetreeprofessional.com.  See the gallery of his work.  Then call for an appointment at (775) 420-8694.

What is an Arborist?

No, it is not someone who works in a ship yard.  Let’s give you a dictionary definition.  An arborist is a professional involved in the cultivation, management, and study of trees, shrubs, and other perennial woody plants.  Generally, an arborist concentrates on the individual health and maintenance of such living organisms.

If an arborist is required to work near power lines additional training is required.  Those that climb use a number of techniques such as “single rope” or “double rope”.  They may also use spikes attached to their chainsaw boots with straps that ascend to do their work.  It sounds somewhat romantic and dangerous!

Greg Chavez is proud to be a Northern Nevada arborist.  You would have to ask him where he developed his love for trees, but count on this…if you have a tree or shrub that needs to be removed or trimmed you won’t do better than inviting Greg onto your property to estimate the job.  Call The Tree Professional today at (775) 420-8694.

I’m a Lumberjack and I’m Okay.

Remember the Monty Python sketch?  Google it if you want.  It is just a humorous way of reminding you that the art of cutting down a tree is just that…an art.  There is safety involved and the clean-up can be challenging to get the area looking lush and beautiful long after that offending oak has been removed.

It starts with a professional who really takes pride in the art of proper tree removal.  It may be a mundane task to you, but NOT to Greg Chavez and his team.  The Tree Professionals of Northern Nevada are exactly that…tree professionals.  If you excel in a given task you want people to be aware.  Well, we want you to know about Greg.

When you need a tree removed in the Reno area you should turn to The Tree Professionals every time.  They offer a healthy 20% discount to seniors, veterans, and the physically challenged!  The choice seems pretty clear doesn’t it?  Call The Tree Professionals for tree removal or trimming in Northern Nevada at (775) 420-8694.

If You Could Be a Tree What Tree Would You Be?

Remember Barbara Walter’s signature line?  Well…if you could plant a tree in Northern Nevada what tree would you plant?  We may have finally come out of that drought of the early 2010’s so our fancy lightly turns to thoughts of healthy trees in our backyard.  Here is a tip…choose a tree that can thrive in our ever-changing weather.

This isn’t Las Vegas, so plant accordingly.  Consider the sycamore.  It is a great tree for the Reno area.  They have a high tolerance for drought which is bound to happen again.  They provide mucho shade.  They grow like majestic “weeds” (but don’t look like them).  Best of all, perhaps is that they are practically bug-free!

Now, if and when a tree becomes a burden or a hazard there is one clear-cut choice.  Logically, he is called The Tree Professional.  His name is Greg Chavez.  Lest you think that Greg does not take his responsibility as one of Nevada’s top tree removers seriously visit his website at www.thetreeprofessional.com.  Call him anytime at (775) 420-8694.
