It’s understandable when property owners go out of their way to do things on their own so they can save a few dollars. If you can handle it on your own, it’s just right for you to do it by yourself. If it’s a little more complicated, you can call a friend who can help you out. But there are things around your property that call for professional assistance. For instance, you can go about tending and caring for your garden on your own, but there would be times when you have to call an expert tree contractor.

There are plenty of local tree contractors that you can reach out to. These are licensed companies who can work on any tree-related job. Many of them even offer other outdoor services. It’s better to work with the experts when it comes to tree care and maintenance because they have the right knowledge, experience, equipment, and tools. Some tasks that are related to trees can be very risky, sometimes even dangerous. Safety should be your top priority.

So when exactly do you have to call an expert tree contractor? What are the usual services they offer? Here are some of those jobs that are better done with a tree professional’s help:

1. Tree Removal: More often than not, you don’t have a choice but to call a tree contractor when you need to remove a tree from your property. Tree cutting is very dangerous especially when you’re doing it in residential, commercial, and public areas. Furthermore, most states require permits to cut down trees. A tree contractor can help you out with that.

2. Tree Trimming and Pruning: They’re different from each other, but they’re somehow related — tree trimming and pruning may seem like an easy task. A lot of people have tried doing this on their own. However, especially when you’re working on large trees, it is best to have a professional help you out for the sake of your safety. Furthermore, trimming and pruning must be done properly to ensure the tree remains healthy and beautiful.

3. Stump Grinding and Removal: When a tree falls down or is removed, a stump may be left behind. Once again, stump removal may seem like an easy thing to do but it’s actually not. You may have to use special equipment to successfully remove one safely from your property. When a stump is too large or is just too hard to remove, stump grinding might be the next best step to take.

There are even more jobs that require the help of an expert tree contractor. If you are from Daytona Beach and you’re looking for the best tree company to work with, Daytona Beach Tree Pros is here for you. Call us at 386-267-8220 for a free estimate.

Contrary to popular belief that fertilization is only good for veggies, fruit-bearing plants, and flowers, trees can also benefit a lot from it. In fact, if you want healthier and more beautiful trees in your yard, you can consider tree fertilization. However, before trying it out, you must know more about it. There are different types of fertilizers and the right times to apply them.

Fertilizers are easily available in most plant and garden stores locally. You can even order them online. It is very important to follow instructions closely or for you to do your own research to learn more about the right way to fertilize. One of the best ways to deal with this is by reaching out with a tree contractor. While landscapers can help you out with your garden and smaller plants, tree experts or arborists can better assist.

It is important for you to know that improper use of fertilizers can lead to zero or bad results for your trees. It’s either there wouldn’t be any effect at all on the tree after fertilizing or the tree could sick or die when the method used is improper.

As earlier mentioned, there’s also such a thing as right timing when fertilizing trees. This is also dependent on the kind of tree or plant you’re fertilizing as well as the kind of fertilizer you’re using.

For instance, for slow-release granular types of fertilizers, you can use them as often as once every month or two. However, most fertilizers of this type are best used thrice in a year during fall, spring, and summer. Controlled-release fertilizers are ideally used during warm seasons and applied at least thrice yearly.  To avoid wasting fertilizers, don’t use it during the winter season. Plants and trees won’t absorb or utilize them anyway. In addition, fertilizing when it’s cold can cause damage to your plants.

When you need help with tree fertilization for trees in your Daytona Beach property, Daytona Beach Tree Pros is ready to help. We have a team of experts who can assist you with all your tree maintenance needs. We also use only the best fertilizers that would certainly bring out the best in your trees.

Stump grinding is a service offered by some tree contractors. A common misconception among property owners is that stump grinding is exactly the same as stump removal. They are two completely different processes. Some tree companies even don’t have stump grinding service available because they lack the necessary equipment. So what is stump grinding? When do you need it?

The process of stump grinding involves literally grinding down tree stumps into tiny pieces. Especially for larger stumps left behind after a tree has been cut down, grinding them is more ideal compared to just removing them. This makes the actual stump removal process easier. It also simplifies disposal of large tree stumps because the pieces can easily be thrown away or buried underground.

You need a stump grinder for this kind of process. A stump grinder is a power tool that can either stand on its own or can be attached to another machine like backhoes or tractors. Through rotating cutting discs or sharp teeth, wood stumps are ground to smaller wood chips. This can completely eliminate the possibility of another tree growth from the stump and as mentioned, removing the stump as a whole becomes easier.

It is important to note that stump grinding must be done by skilled and licensed professionals. As mentioned, not all tree companies offer this service because of lack of equipment. So if you intend to get stump grinding services, ask your local contractor first if they offer such service. In the event that you can find a company that rents out stump grinding tools, it is highly recommended for you not to do it on your own. Again, it is best to call a licensed tree professional to help you out.

If you need stump grinding services for your Daytona Beach property, Daytona Beach Tree Pros can help you out. We have the necessary equipment, expertise and experience to carry out all kinds of stump grinding jobs no matter how big or small. Call us at 386-267-8220 for a free quote.

When a tree has already fallen down due to a variety of reasons, it must be removed right away. Especially if it is located in a residential or commercial area, and anywhere else where people are, a fallen tree calls for immediate action. When there’s one in your property, it becomes your responsibility to call a fallen tree removal contractor.

Trees are strong and mighty. They live for decades, even hundreds and thousands of years depending on their species. Many of them survive even through the worst weather conditions. However, just like all living things, trees do not live forever. Trees can fall over due to many reasons. These situations may include:

• A tree is unhealthy or has started to decay.
• A tree is overgrown and the property owner failed to provide proper tree maintenance.
• A tree is already dead.
• A tree falls down due to severe weather conditions.

When these things happen, it is best to call the experts for assistance immediately. There are companies offering 24/7 emergency tree service. Tree removal must be done so that the fallen tree won’t continue to be a hazard to its surroundings. Especially if a tree has fallen down on a home or place of business, on the driveway, road, sidewalk, and elsewhere that can cause obstruction to one’s daily life, then immediate action is necessary.

While there are plenty of tree contractors, not everyone is available all the time. You must contact one that can offer emergency tree service. Mother Nature doesn’t choose the time or place where she hits the hardest. If a tree happens to fall on a weekend, it would be most ideal to have someone assist you immediately.

If you are looking for a reliable fallen tree removal contractor that is ready to assist anytime you need them, Daytona Beach Tree Pros is the company to call. We offer tree care and maintenance, and practically all of your tree care needs for your Daytona Beach property. For a free quote, you may call us at 386-267-8220.
