Frequently Asked Questions

As a Birmingham homeowner, I have standing water and bare spots in my lawn. Can your tree and shrub services help?

Absolutely. Poor drainage and soil compaction are common issues here that affect root health. Our licensed horticulturalist can assess your landscape to determine if specific tree or shrub placements are contributing to the problem. Services like strategic planting or transplanting can improve water absorption and shade patterns, while our overall plant health care—including disease and insect management—ensures your greenery is resilient enough to thrive despite local soil challenges, creating a healthier yard foundation.

What does it mean that your arborist is 'Tree Risk Assessment Qualified,' and why is that important for my property?

This qualification, held by our Master Arborist David Boggan, signifies advanced training in evaluating the structural stability and potential failure risks of trees. For Birmingham homeowners, this is crucial for safety during our frequent storms. It means our recommendations for cabling, bracing, pruning, or removal are based on the latest scientific standards, not guesswork. This expert assessment can often preserve a valuable tree deemed 'dangerous' or provide a clear, justified plan for necessary removal, protecting your property and neighbors.

You offer 'tree prescriptions.' What is that, and when would I need one?

A tree prescription is a customized care plan created after a detailed diagnosis, much like a doctor's plan for a patient. If you have a tree showing signs of decline—unusual leaf drop, dieback, or insect activity—our Master Arborist will identify the specific issue, whether it's a local disease, pest, or environmental stress. The prescription then outlines targeted treatments, which may include precise pruning, soil amendments, or managed applications for insects or disease, all aimed at restoring the tree's health rather than applying generic solutions.
