Timberrrrrr!

Maybe it was a late winter storm or just the effects of age and disease, but perhaps you have a fallen tree in your yard or are about to. Here is a tip…like anything else, trees grow old and can deteriorate in the process. If you have a tree that you can see is rotting or diseased, it’s best to remove it before it falls and does more damage.

What is the condition of the tree on the ground? Is the trunk still intact? Did it rip the stump out of the ground? Did it fall apart into dozens of rotting pieces? Cleaning up after a tree falls may require the use of some heavy machinery such as chain saws, woodchippers, or even cranes to remove large pieces of trunk!

Absolutely not…not you! There are people who make their living at jobs such as this. One of the very best tree removal companies in Northern Nevada is The Tree Professional. Greg and his guys will have your yard looking as good as new in no time. See examples of their work at thetreeprofessional.com. Call for maintenance or emergencies at (775) 420-8694.

When to Remove and When to Trim.

Sometimes you must make a decision to have old shrubs and bushes removed from your property rather than just trimmed back. Shrubs that are allowed to grow without proper regular pruning become overgrown and may ruin the balance of your Northern Nevada land. Removing these overgrown shrubs can be a daunting task, especially if the root system is extensive.

 

Here are some of the tools you may need if you consider this a DIY task –

1.  An ax.

2.  A saw.

3.  A crowbar.

4.  A pulling chain.

5.  Pruning shears.

Okay, Grizzly Adams…have at it! Or, why not just call Greg at The Tree Professional to have the job of removing trees and bushes from your Reno area property done efficiently and properly. The Tree Professional of Northern Nevada has been around for many years. Visit them at thetreeprofessional.com and call anytime at (775) 420-8694.

What Responds Best to Being Pruned.

It is getting to be that time of year again (late winter/early spring) when pruning bushes and trees is highly advisable. At this point, it may seem like winter will never end in Northern Nevada, but it will…and soon! So now that the time is soon arriving, we thought it would be a good idea as to which plants on your property respond best to pruning.

Here are some of them –

 

1.  Forsythia

2.  Lilac

3.  Honeysuckle

4.  Red and yellow twig dogwood

5.  Azaleas

There are many, many more, of course. Suffice to say, as spring is just around the corner you should be calling a professional pruner in the Reno area to come to your Northern Nevada property. The answer, as always, is The Tree Professional of Reno, NV. Take a look at their gorgeous portfolio at thetreeprofessional.com. Call Greg at (775) 420-8694.

Trees and Power Lines…Bad Combo!

Did you know that nearly a quarter of the unplanned power outages you may have experienced in Northern Nevada are caused by trees and other vegetation growing too close to power lines? In high winds, trees can be blown onto power lines, causing the lines to short-circuit, and can also cause major damage to electrical equipment, resulting in power interruptions.

Here are some helpful tips -

 

1.  Trees should be a certain distance from electrical conductors.

2.  Subscribing liability to those who are guilty of that distancing.

3.  Find the right company to safely remove a tree.

That last part is easy in Northern Nevada. It is the aptly named Tree Professional of Reno. They have safely removed trees from properties throughout the area for many years. Greg and his team know that it is always safety first! See their amazing work by googling thetreeprofessional.com. Call day or night at (775) 420-8694.

Sadly, it is Time to Say Good-bye.

Sometimes, a tree on your property needs to be removed. Even after years of providing protection and shade to your Northern Nevada home or business it simply “gives up the ghost” and must be removed whether it is still standing or not. It does not necessarily require an arborist to see that a tree is dying.

Just think of the consequences of your continued procrastination-

1.  Branches may break off

2.  The next winter storm may be disastrous

3.  It could be leaning unsafely (like the Tower of Pisa!)

Regardless of which of the above refers to your tree play it safe. Call The Tree Professionals. They are a noted safe tree removal service who is licensed and bonded in the Reno area. Greg and his crew will give you peace of mind in no time. See the incomparable work of The Tree Professionals at thetreeprofessional.com and call anytime (775) 420-8694.

Heavy Snow = Heavy Trees.

One thing we can be certain of in Northern Nevada this time of year is snow…and plenty of it! It comes as no surprise that as the snow gets more intense, severe side effects start to appear. As you might have observed and heard, heavy snow often comes with the tell-tale cracking sound indicative of the damage it is inflicting on your plants.

These are some of the risks of heavy snow on trees –

1.  Bending…sometimes the entire tree.

2.  Splitting…a tree can literally go into shock and split from the weight.

3.  Breaking…branches just give out and break entirely.

4.  Falling…the ultimate disaster on your property!

Whatever may become of the winter of 2021, if it includes heavy snow around your Reno area property, you may need the help of The Tree Professionals. They are winter-care tree experts in Northern Nevada who help you with the ravages of heavy snow on your property. Just visit thetreeprofessional.com and call (775) 420-8694.

The First American Christmas Tree.

It dates back to the mid-19th century as the story goes, August Imgard originally from Germany, set up the first American Christmas tree in Wooster, Ohio, in 1847. The basic version of the tale was that Imgard, after arriving in America, was homesick at Christmas so he cut down the top of a spruce tree, brought it indoors, and decorated it.

Another version has it that a professor at Harvard, Charles Follen is known to have set up a Christmas tree in his home in the mid-1830s…well before Mr. Imgard. Further, The Christmas tree of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert became known in America in the late 1840s, and in the 1850s reports of Christmas trees began to appear in newspapers around the US.

However you celebrate the Holiday season we here at The Tree Professionals honor the Balsam Fir as the most popular variety of Christmas Tree. Whenever you need tree removal or trimming around your Northern Nevada property please think of The Tree Professionals of Reno in 2021. Happy Holidays from Greg and his staff at The Tree Professionals.
