Services

Tree removal is not a service we like to emphasize, but it is a very necessary part of arboriculture and one that Mike & Sons executes professionally and safely. Our goal is to provide services that keep trees healthy, but there are instances when removal is the best alternative for the landscape and homeowner.

Tree removals are performed to eliminate dead and dying trees as well as those that have become hazardous. Removals can also be useful in eliminating competition for light and space so that the remaining plants are better able to grow and thrive. In some cases, trees may also be removed to allow for new construction, home additions and to provide clearances with those structures.

Tree removal is the most hazardous aspect of arboriculture. Often, arborists must remove trees growing in confined spaces near houses, utility lines and other sensitive areas. Tree removal requires considerable expertise to successfully perform this task.

At Mike & Sons Tree Experts, our arborists are highly trained to work safely and efficiently in all tree removals. We provide thorough clean up of debris and strive to minimize the impact to surrounding vegetation.

As part of the tree removal process, the stump will typically be left as close to the ground as possible. If needed, removal of the stump can be provided.

Pruning, by definition, is the removal of plant parts for a specific aesthetic or tree health purpose. Most commonly, this includes tree crowning, where limbs are removed from the top of the tree. Usually, the objective for this service is to remove dead or diseased limbs or to provide clearance from homes, wires, pools and traffic.

While pruning can be one of the best things for establishing good tree structure and safety, improper tree pruning practices-such as flush cutting and climbing with spurs-can have an adverse effect on your tree's health. Additionally, this can cause problems in the future, making it more costly to maintain your trees.

Whether you are looking to improve your tree's overall health or simply bring more light to your pool or yard, you can rest assured that our Arborists can help you make the best decision on how to achieve your goals, while also maintaining your tree's biological needs.

Tree support cables are proactive and preventive additions to your tree meant to support its structure. This reduces the potential risks of structural failure by limiting the movement of stems and branches with weak attachments giving structurally weak tree parts a boost so when strong winds blow and snow/ice weighs down they can stand strong. By using this proactive technique, you can reduce damage, costs, and risks. 

Hedges and Shrubs are best maintained on a regular basis. These plants are elements of a landscape that are often intended to have a specific purpose, whether that be holding the focal point of a garden or providing privacy and security along a property line.

By maintaining hedges and shrubs at least once a year you can help to maintain their desired size and shapes. Letting them grow unchecked for too long may limit the size and shape that they can be pruned back to, this is especially true for some species more than others.

Fertilization gives trees and shrubs important nutrients, supports growth, helps with fighting diseases and contributes to the overall health and vitality of a tree.
