Fallen or wayward branches can cause fires, electrical spikes, surges, and even outages. Falling trees or branches can down utility lines, and if the line isn't severed, it may still conduct electricity. People or pets that approach the downed wire are at risk of severe injury and death. If you've noticed one or more of your trees dangerously close to a power line, you should call the professionals at Finest Tree Service to remedy this situation immediately. They can reduce or eliminate the risk of rotten, overgrown, and wayward branches striking the power lines.

To determine whether or not your trees pose any dangers, examine them and ask yourself the following questions. The first things to look for, according to recommendations from a Finest Tree Service, are signs of rot and other damage. Do they have dead or broken limbs and branches? Do you notice decay or discoloration along the trunk and major branches of any of your trees? Do any of your trees have mushrooms growing at the base (a sign the trunk's interior has already rotted away)? A decaying tree is liable to break at any moment and must be taken care of right away. Do any of your trees' branches show cracks or splits where they attach to the trunk? Can you see fallen branches? Are there dead or fallen trees around? Note whether any of your trees lean heavily to one side, and compare the branches - do they seem to be asymmetrical or unbalanced? If you've had construction or repairs done on your property in the past, such as having sidewalks or pavement installed, the roots of your trees may have been damaged.

If you see any of these telltale signs, a qualified Finest Tree Service can help remedy the damage. Your property will be safer and your trees more long-lived if you are able to notice and correct the risks associated with trees. If you ignore or delay remedying a tree hazard, you could be held liable for resulting damages or fined. Using a Finest Tree Service as your routine tree maintenance professional keeps you safe from such liabilities.

If a tree is badly placed or dead, it may need to be uprooted and removed.

Likewise, if you have large stumps in your yard, the health and beauty of your lawn would be improved by removing it. If you have a stump in your yard, you've probably puzzled over how to remove it. A Finest Tree Service has access to specialized equipment for this difficult task. They use a grinder to wear the stump down. The way it was done in the past was to dig or tear the stump from the ground manually. This caused a great deal of damage to the property and would often leave behind a tangle of old tree roots that was nearly impossible to dispose of.

Having ugly stumps and other detractors to your home's aesthetic value can also affect property values. If people aren't watching where they're going, they might trip and injure themselves on the stump in your yard. Then you could be faced with a lawsuit! Is that something you want? You'll be astounded by the improved appearance of your lawn after a Finest Tree Service removes the stump. No one will be able to tell there ever was a stump in your yard! Your lawn will appear larger and more orderly than before, and the best part is that no one will be able to tell there was ever a stump in your yard to begin with. Stumps can cause all kinds of problems. They're a favorite home of bees and termites. If you mow over one by accident, you could destroy your mower. Don't wait until the stump causes an accident. Call a Finest Tree Service today and have it removed.

Problems will inevitably crop up as your trees mature.

As you watch your trees grow over the years, you might realize they're starting to encroach on dangerous territory: utility lines, your roof, and your neighbor's gutters. Dead limbs, rotting branches, foliage too dense for sunlight to penetrate, and pest infestation are all common problems with mature and aging trees.

A Finest Tree Service offers many services to help your trees. They'll dispose of dead and damaged wood, increase a tree's aesthetic appeal by trimming and raising the canopy, and they can even squeeze into small areas to fell nuisance trees.

Call a knowledgeable Finest Tree Service today if you need a stump removed or your trees trimmed and pruned, or even removed, for a more appealing lawn. (520) 304-1603

Don't let bad weather sneak up on you. The monsoon season can start as early as mid-June. Make sure that your trees are prepared for the monsoon season to minimize damage to your trees and property. Finest Tree Service is scheduling appointments for the necessary tree removal and tree trimming services now. The rain, strong winds, lightning, dust storms, and “downbursts” or "microbursts" that come with the monsoons can cause major damage to your trees. A “down burst” is a strong “vortex ring” of a vertically rotating circle of air. At the base of a downburst are heavy outward bursts of wind near the earth’s surface. It is the wind of the Monsoon that causes the most damage to trees and, as a result, property. The heavy rains of the Monsoon make trees especially susceptible to downing as the soil is over-saturated. When the high winds come, even the healthiest tree can easily be uprooted. Finest Tree Service has the equipment and expertise to make sure that your trees are in the proper condition to avoid damage to the tree itself and the property around it.

Monsoon Tree Preparation Services Finest Trees Can Provide to You

Here are some of the things we will be looking for when we come to give you an estimate for our services:

The single most important thing you can do to protect your trees from damage in the Monsoon season is to keep them thinned. Thicker trees are more likely to sustain damage in heavy winds than less dense trees. A dense canopy will prevent wind from passing through easily and will create wind resistance that can cause branches to snap and break or even bring the entire tree down. Finest Tree Service can provide professional pruning services.

Dense canopies combined with poor or weak root structure are a deadly combination. If a mature tree’s roots have been crushed or cut, Finest Tree Service can remove it.

Branch structure should be paid attention to. Look for branches that cross and rub against each other, causing wounds. Also, look for excessive leaning or horizontal branches. Dead wood should also be removed, as it is dry a brittle and will not bend with the wind but snap, forming a dangerous projectile that could lead to property damage. A clear indicator of potential branch failure is cracking in the branch itself. A branch with cracks will split sooner or later. Finest Tree Service can remove them all.

Multi-trunked trees need special attention and care. Watch for narrow crotches (V-shaped instead of U-shaped) and identical diameters in leader trunks. This is NOT a good sign. You must choose one of the leaders to dominate. Finest Tree Service can accomplish this by pruning back the second branch and stunting its growth.

Don't wake up to a tree limb lying across the hood of your car or the roof of your home. Call Finest Tree Service today at (520) 304-1603 to find out how you can protect yourself and your property during the monsoon season.
