Professional
Tree Cabling & Bracing

Sometimes trees require a little help, that’s why we offer expert tree care services. Installing a support system can make the difference between having to remove your tree or saving it for decades to come.

Cables limit branch movement and reduce strain on your tree.

Not all trees require cabling but for those with structural issues, cabling helps reduce stress damage during high winds, the weight of the canopy, and strain from ice and snow.

Brace rods add extra support to splitting limbs.

Removing a major limb is often not an option for a large, established tree. Installing brace rods helps reduce strain and mitigate risk. We’ve found that many trees that would otherwise need to be removed can be saved with a properly installed support system.

Specialized Care
Fruit Tree Management

Fruit trees take special care. A number of important factors contribute to your trees’ health. We can come up with an annual multi-tiered plan to help your fruit trees thrive. If you are interested in taking your fruit trees to the next level, the Treemaster team would love to help!

It begins with a consultation.

What site conditions affect your trees? How can we cultivate an environment for healthier trees and better fruit production? What are your particular goals? From there we decide what steps to take to help your fruit trees thrive.

Mulching is key.

Proper mulching techniques help in significant ways. For many we test the soil to determine PH levels and fertilization application prior to mulching.

We prune during the winter.

Winter is the best time to prune most fruit trees. Understanding how trees respond helps us establish better structure and enhance fruit production.

Saving Trees
Root Care

Did you know that most tree problems don’t originate in the canopy? They come from beneath the surface! Our arborists have specialized tools and resources to address soil and root issues, ensuring your trees remain healthy from the ground up.

Root Crown Excavation

Trees planted too deeply can suffer from moisture-induced decay along the root flare. Using our specialized tool, the “Air Spade,” we carefully fracture the soil with high-pressure air, exposing the root flare and preserving the integrity of your tree’s roots.

Girdling Roots

Sometimes, roots can grow in a way that constricts the tree’s own circulation, leading to decline or even death. After performing root crown excavation, our team meticulously prunes away these constricting roots, helping restore proper nutrient flow.

Soil Aeration

Soil compaction is a significant issue that hinders a tree’s ability to absorb nutrients, water, and oxygen. This stress can severely impact tree health. We utilize several advanced processes to aerate the soil, alleviating compaction and promoting better root health and growth.

Fertilization

Every tree has unique nutritional needs. After conducting soil testing, we apply the appropriate fertilizers tailored to your tree’s requirements, helping it thrive and grow stronger.

Careful
Tree Planting

Our arborists can create a plan by selecting appropriate trees for your landscape, source and install your trees, and provide the necessary aftercare for your trees to thrive. We even had the joy of planting the Christmas tree at the Wellsboro Green!

Frequently Asked Questions

Caring for your trees goes beyond basic maintenance, especially when they show signs of stress, disease, or structural weakness. In this FAQ section, we answer common questions about professional tree care solutions and preservation techniques. From diagnosing tree health issues to implementing advanced treatments, you’ll learn how expert care can protect your landscape, improve safety, and help your trees thrive for years to come.

What are professional tree care solutions and when are they needed?

Professional tree care solutions focus on diagnosing and treating underlying issues that affect a tree’s health, stability, and longevity. These services are often needed when a tree appears stressed, damaged, diseased, or structurally compromised. Rather than immediately removing a tree, certified arborists evaluate whether it can be preserved using science-based methods designed to restore health and reduce risk.

What is root crown excavation and why is it beneficial?

Root crown excavation is a specialized process used to expose the base of a tree when it has been planted too deeply. By using tools that safely remove soil without damaging roots, arborists can correct moisture-related issues and prevent decay. This process helps restore proper airflow and allows the tree to function more naturally.

What is tree cabling and when is it recommended?

Tree cabling is a support system used to stabilize trees with weak or compromised structures. By installing flexible cables in the canopy, arborists help reduce stress caused by wind, heavy limbs, or ice and snow. This technique is especially useful for mature trees where removing large limbs is not ideal but additional support is needed to prevent failure.

What are girdling roots and how do they affect tree health?

Girdling roots occur when roots grow in a circular pattern and begin to constrict the tree’s trunk or other roots. This can restrict the flow of water and nutrients, eventually leading to decline. Carefully removing these roots can restore circulation and improve the tree’s overall health.

How does soil aeration improve tree growth?

Soil compaction limits a tree’s ability to absorb essential resources. Aeration relieves this compaction by creating space for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. This process encourages healthier root development and can significantly improve a tree’s vigor over time.

Do trees need fertilization?

Trees benefit from fertilization when the soil lacks essential nutrients. Through soil testing, arborists can determine exactly what a tree needs and apply the appropriate treatment. This targeted approach supports stronger growth, improved resistance to stress, and overall vitality.
