Often Tree Trimming in Des Moines can be 90% for the tree owners benefit and only 10% for the tree. If that is the case, what are some of the things we can do to help our tree, not ourselves?

1. Trim only 1 to 2 times for the life of the tree. Excessive Tree Trimming may open tree's to the spread of Micro-organisms, pests, decay and reduce overall tree vigor leading to unwanted Tree Removal in Des Moines.

2. Identify deficiencies and assist. Often trees require additional water for uptake, various amounts of nutrients or often times pest/insect mitigation to extend the life of the tree. Your local Certified Arborist in Des Moines can help with an evaluation.

If you are looking for an Arborist to assist your trees, Certified Arborist Chris Olson may be the one for you.
