Our Des Moines Tree service will help with regular pruning programs that are essential for keeping your trees safe, beautiful and healthy. The periodic removal of some limbs in your tree is done to enhance the appearance and beauty of your landscaping.
I have listed some additional reasons to have regular trimming sessions for your trees:
- The health of your trees depends on pruning them and training the new limbs into a safe and stable patterns.
- Removal of dead, weak, storm damaged, crossing or diseased branches reduces the risk of storm damage when ice, snow and high winds come through. Tornado’s especially
- Clear from buildings, homes, wires, streets, and drives. No one like to be trapped in a house with no way to get a car out and no electricity. Think ahead!
Tree Removal
Sometimes a tree “just needs to come down”. It sad but sometimes necessary for the safty of those around it. These reason might be because:storm damage, disease, crowding, convenience…
-

Cabling and Securing
Cabling and bracing can be great alternative in order to save the length of life to your tree. Some trees have abnormal growth or is lop-sided and needs to have some adjustments. This is usualy caused by not haveing your tree properly pruned or trimmed. Our professionally trained treemen can detect and often times, project the problem before it become a Bigger Problem.
This can be done by cabling. Cabling is the installation of heavy wire and clamps that are placed on some of the major limgs within the tree. Sometimes a tree can have the beginnings of a split in the trunk or linb….cabling will help secure the tree in order for the tree to mend itself and become stronger so that the high winds won’t cause it to split further.
Bracing is usually the installation of a steel rod to protect a weak or split crotch. This rod or brace is aided by cables installed in the canopy.
Stump grinding is the process of removing the stump below soil level. We use one of the biggest grinders that are made and will grind the stump and roots 12 inches under ground.
Here are some great reasons to grind out the stump rather than having it dug up.
- It is much less expensive than stump removal processes
- It eliminates the disturbance of the surrounding lawn area
- The mulch created by the grinding processes can even be recycled in your flower beds
- No -root to haul away
- Re-landscape with ease
