Veteran Lancaster Arborists Advise That Tree Care and Tree Removal Is Best Left to Professionals

Without a doubt, Fall is a great time of the year to do tree removal. Most of the leaves are off the trees so it makes for less of a mess when taking them down. It’s also a great time of the year to get rid of dead or problem trees so they do not come down in harsh fall or winter weather where they can cause extensive damage. Central Tree Service Lancaster, however, warns that tree care or tree removal is something that’s best left to professionals.

Company spokesperson Gary Helms talked more about why tree removal is best left to professionals, “It takes years of training and experience to safely bring down a tree. It also takes using that know-how combined with the right equipment. Even with all of this, felling trees is still a dangerous undertaking. When done wrong it can cause serious damage to property or worse yet injure or kill someone. Professional tree service companies like ours know how to greatly minimize the risks when taking any tree down and get them to fall in a way where they pose no threat to people or property.”

Helms went on to add that safe tree removal is not the only aspect of tree care that’s best left to professional tree service companies. Tree pruning is also something that can be dangerous for those that do not have the right know-how and equipment. This is especially true if that pruning is done higher up in a tree. Proper ladders, aerial boom trucks with buckets, and sophisticated tree sawing and cutting tools are a necessity when doing this type of work. He says their company has all of these pieces of state-of-the-art tree service equipment and more.

Other tree services besides tree pruning that the company does at height include crown thinning and tree trimming. Crown thinning is important because it lets light and water through to the interior of the tree and the ground below. This helps promote tree health and overall landscape health too. Tree trimming helps keep trees from becoming overgrown and shapes them to help improve the overall looks of the landscape.

Helms also reminded that safety is not the only reason why tree care services are best left to professionals. He says, experienced tree service crews like theirs always know how to trim and prune trees in a manner where it does them the most good and also does not harm the tree in the process. Improper tree trimming and pruning can harm a tree significantly and it may not be able to ever recover fully from that.

Central Tree Service Lancaster also offers many tree services that can be done at the ground level too. Among these is stump grinding. This is an essential tree task if one wants to fully reclaim the ground area in which a tree once stood. Their crews will remove the stump down several inches below ground level and then thoroughly clean up the work area before they wrap up.

Other tree tasks the company can provide for those in the Lancaster, PA area includes lot and land clearing, cabling and bracing, tree pest control, tree fertilization, wood chipping and mulching, and tree planting and relocation.

Each of the crews at Central Tree Service Lancaster are led by a veteran arborist. The company itself has been in business for well over ten years. In this time the company has managed to carve out a reputation for doing superior tree service work with an emphasis on safety, professionalism, and customer service. Recent customer Julia Montgomery had this to say about the company’s services, “I called them for an estimate and they were able to come out the next day. I eventually hired them to remove a stump out of my yard. They did a quick job out of it for a reasonable price. If you are looking for a quick and professional service, I highly recommend Central Tree Service.”
