Trees are a blessing to have on your property. They purify the air, provide shade, and even help with noise pollution. Do what you can to care for your trees by hiring the right arborist company. Here are just five services a professional arborist should offer you.

1. Planting

Does your landscape lack trees? Do you have space for more? There are many reasons to plant some new trees on your property. Trees can reduce bothersome noise by up to 50%, according to Conserve Energy Future. They also provide privacy from nosy neighbors or people walking by. Do you want to grow some of your fruit? In addition to having a garden, you could enjoy fruit trees that bear apples, oranges, lemons, or pears, depending on what area of the country you live in or what season it is.

2. Tree Removal

Unfortunately, you may have to decide to remove a tree. Tree removal can happen for many reasons, such as becoming a danger to your home foundation. When tree roots get out of control, they're strong enough to lift your front home off of its foundation and ruin it. These overgrown roots can also puncture your septic tank, which can result in a major health hazard. If septic waste leaks out, it not only pollutes your soil but can also seep into the local water supply.

Did you know your tree can get sick, too? Luckily, your local arborist company employs trained professionals who look out for signs of illness in a tree that you would never notice. By treating such illnesses early, you can prevent the tree from spreading disease to other plant life on your property. If you have a landscape filled with sick trees, it could be a major hazard that can attract pests like flies, mosquitoes, ants, and anything that wants to feed off of a dying tree. If the illness further goes untreated, your tree and others may die, and then you'll have property filled with dead wood. That's when tree removal is crucial.

3. Stump Grinding

After your arborist chops down a tree, a rooted stump is left behind. You don't want to leave that stump in the ground because it'll look unsightly and may cause people to trip over it. A stump may also still be alive and cause issues with overgrown roots. Stump grinding can be a labor-intensive process your local arborists can handle, so don't buy big expensive equipment and attempt to do it on your own. If you ever need to clear your landscape to build a pool or other structure, having an arborist get rid of trees or stumps can help.

4. Fertilization

Even trees require good fertilization. Any type of vegetation needs proper feeding in addition to hydration and sunlight. An arborist company knows exactly what type of fertilizer to use based on the type of trees you have. They know the right amount of fertilizer to put in the ground and the method to do so. After all, you don't ever want to over or under-fertilize a plant. In addition to fertilization for feeding, they also know which ones help prevent weeds from growing in the ground.

5. Pruning

House plants aren't the only ones that need pruning. Trees need some trimming as well. An arborist company can regularly come to your property and give your trees and spruces needed pruning so that branches and leaves don't overgrow. They know exactly what part of the branch to cut without damaging it and allowing it to grow stronger. Regular pruning is also helpful in preventing disease, as it can quickly get rid of any diseased parts of the tree before they spread.
