At Landmark Tree Care we are ISA Certified Arborists and Maryland licensed Tree Experts. We are also licensed with the Maryland department of agriculture. These credentials are a corner stone to a complete tree care service. Along with over 20 years of experience in the industry, Landmark Tree Care is your authority for all your tree and shrub needs.
Trees add beauty and value to our homes, parks and even our commercial areas. While development of new areas continually deplete natural areas we should all do our part in keeping developed areas rich with a vast tree selection.
We specialize in large tree removals as well as small tree removals. Tree removal is a tricky and sometimes dangerous task. Certain tree removals require a skilled master climber while other removals can be performed with the use of an aerial man lift.
Some factors in determining if a tree needs to be removed are, the amount of visible wound tissue around the trunk of the tree or other key structural areas such as major crotches. Tree removal may be considered if there are a large presence of fungal spores or "mushrooms" growing from the bark of a tree.
Even in the winter a skilled Arborist can usually tell if a tree needs to be removed simply by looking at the number of buds that exist on the terminal ends of each branch.
One question an Arborist will address when determining if a tree needs to be removed is, will this tree out grow its space and, should this species of tree be removed sooner rather than later to avoid dramatically increased costs in the removal process.
The best route is to always have an Arborist inspect for these issues to determine if removal is necessary. And never try complicated tree removals on your own. Simply "felling" a tree by cutting it at the base looks like a simple and quick means to remove the tree but this route has proved disastrous for many home owners attempting to remove a tree on their own.
Tree Trimming should be performed by an ISA Certified Arborist. Tree trimming is a delicate procedure and should be done to preserve the health of the tree. Tree trimming or pruning can be very beneficial for the safety and value of your property. Tree trimming can be looked at as when one wants to modify the tree in some way. For example, when we remove a limb to clear a house or other structure. Or, when one wants to "top" a Pear tree. Although topping any tree is not recommended by Arborists, it is a common practice for large shrubs like Crape Myrtles and flowering trees like the Bradford Pear.
Pruning is a different goal. One prunes a tree to encourage proper structure and form. Proper pruning practices are a foundation of the Arborist's industry. Improper pruning and trimming practices can lead to serious damage in the short and long term for a tree. So, it is important to not confuse pruning and trimming and the purpose of each.
An ISA certified arborist has up to date training on all aspects of tree care including: tree removals and tree trimming, integrated pest management (IPM), plant health care, hazard assessment, disease diagnosis and treatment, fertilization, stump grinding, lightning protection, cabling and bracing, aesthetic light placement and more.
