Tree damage from wind?

Trees are taking a beating from the strong winds we experienced today with gusts up to 45 mph. Wind damage to trees is mother natures way of trimming away the weak branches and trees, the ones that are diseased, dying, insect infested and damaged from neglect, abuse and improper care. The branches and trees that are compromised from these issues will be blown down from winds like we’ve seen today. Call us for expert and economical cleanup.

Ficus trees grow very well in our arid climate and are quite tolerant you our hot summer temperatures. In their natural habitat they can grow up to 90+ feet and in the Phoenix area They are not frost tolerant and will sustain damage from a frost to the outer and upper leaves and branches. Many of the Ficus trees that were damaged by frost were improperly trimmed as the branches were topped which never healthy for the tree or proper technique.

Tree removal of overgrown pine tree in Scottsdale AZ

Aleppo pine trees grow very well in our desert climate with a good water source and fertile soil. They do very well with proper feeding also. Consequently they can out grow the area where they were planted and begin to cause problems with roots lifting sidewalks, branches invading public areas and walkways and becoming a hazard.

So that was the case today with a very mature pine tree that has become a hazard to the surrounding area, structures and people. So the best and safest option was for a tree removal, stump grind and replanting of some shrubs.

Storm damaged tree removal

We spent the day removing 5 trees that were damaged by our recent storms. Proper tree trimming would have saved all of these trees. These trees were planted by a landscape company that setup the watering system to feed them too much water which made them grow very fast and not establish proper root structure to support the heavy canopies. Tree removal was the mode for today as the property owners added 3 additional trees to be taken down.
