Spring Clean Up
Springtime is almost upon us here in Southern Indiana and that means it's time to get our yards cleaned up for the warmer weather.   Hopefully you did a fall cleanup and if you did, the spring maintenance will be much easier.

A lot of people don't realize that one of the most important things you can do for your trees is to ensure that there are not leaves from the fall covering the ground which will keep your tree roots from getting the moisture they need to ensure a healthy tree.   We recommend raking all of the leaves away from the tree base and extend out to the entire distance of the tree roots.    This will help the rain water get to the roots, which is vital to that tree's health.   With that being said, having mulch around the tree base will not harm your tree.   

It's also important to remove any weeds or debris that may be sitting at the base of the tree.  During the spring, you should also be looking for any dead wood or other signs of disease which can harm your tree.  Another important thing to do in the springtime for your trees are to prune them.   Keeping a tree trimmed up nicely (when done correctly), will help your tree stay healthy.   Feel free to call us here at Tree Trimming Evansville and we will come out to your home or business and inspect your trees to ensure they are not showing any signs of disease.   If they are, we will show you our findings and give you our recommendation.

Ideally, a good tree trimming will suffice but in the worst of worst situations, the tree may need to be removed.   If that's the case, you can then decide whether we should remove your tree or leave it as is.   We always hate to see trees being removed but there are times when that is the best and only choice.    As noted earlier though, if you take care of your trees from the time they were planted, they will remain healthy and live for hundreds of years, in some cases.

Spring time is also a great time to fertilize your trees.   A good fertilization will give your tree the nutrients it needs to remain strong and healthy.  If you do fertilize your trees, we highly recommend using a slow release fertilizer which will help your tree resist damage created from stressful weather, insects and diseases.   

Tree Trimming Evansville is your locally owned and operated tree trimming and tree removal service.   We serve Evansville and surrounding areas and offer free estimates.   Some of the communities we serve include Evansville, Newburgh, Boonville, Owensboro and Chandler.  We are experienced and friendly.   Please give us a call today at 812.420.1835 and we'll come out to inspect your trees.    

We treat every customer like a member of our own family.   We use top quality tools and safety is our top priority.   Thank you for taking time to read a little about what we recommend for spring cleaning.  ​

​It may be getting to the cold time of year and you’ve just inherited a large tree in your backyard. Since you’ve only dealt with maintaining its health during warmer times, it can be daunting figuring out what to do with it. With little knowledge, you may think that dealing with it in the same way as you did before will do the trick. The truth is, winter is a time you have to prepare for, and extreme conditions can be difficult for your tree to handle.
Ice is a big cause of damage to trees in winter. It can also pose a danger to you and your property. However, there are ways you can protect your tree from ice. This will ensure minimal damage made once the season is over. Similarly, if the damage is already there, there are a few things you can do to get your tree back in shape. 
 
What Ice Does to Your Tree
As it gets colder, ice and snow may start to build upon your tree. Ice is heavy once set and as it builds up, the branches on your tree get weighed down. This could put the branches at risk of breaking, which damages the health of your tree and poses a risk to you. As little as a quarter of an inch of snow could break a small branch and half an inch for a larger branch. 
If the fallen branch leaves a stub, this can encourage rot and decay to build upon your tree. This is another issue you don’t want to have to deal with. 
 
How to Prevent Ice Damaging Your Tree
There are a few precautions you can take to prepare your tree for winter and avoid any unnecessary damage. If the tree is smaller, you can wrap it in carpet or another strong fabric. Ensure this is removed once the bad weather is gone to give it space to thrive. 
Plan to prune the weaker branches of your tree before winter. This can avoid them breaking when it does become cold.
Another precaution to take is by investing in tree cabling to put keep it in place. This will prevent any damage caused by high winds and heavy snow.
 
What to Do When There’s Ice on Your Tree
Your first thought when there’s snow or ice on your tree may be to remove it. This is a bad idea as it could make things worse. If there are newly set snow on the branches, you can gently brush these off in an upward direction. However, if the snow or ice has set, wait for it to melt before trying anything else.
 
Following these steps can help your tree maintain its strength and thrive in the summer. If precautions haven’t been made and there’s too much damage, you’ll more than likely have to remove the tree. A little damage can be cleared with a little pruning, but not too much so that leaves your tree weak. Hopefully, it never comes to this, and you can get your tree prepared for the upcoming winter.  

​Tree maintenance and pruning may take some time off from your busy schedule. People may consider that by neglecting the tree’s maintenance they might save some time. In the short term, this stands correct. But in the long term, it will cost you much more. Taking proper maintenance of your tree would be an investment towards a healthier and low maintenance tree.
If you talk about cutting off a tree’s limb, the following are the reasons when it becomes a must: -
 
When A Tree Starts Affecting The Other Trees and Plants
There might be instances when a particular tree starts affecting the health of fellow plants and trees negatively. Those instances must always include a tree that is larger in size as compared to other trees.
Trees with bigger and densely packed limbs would absorb much of the sunlight and those growing underneath would be deprived of it. They would also prevent rain from reaching the smaller plants and trees. Thereby affecting their health negatively.
 
Tree’s Own Health
We all want to see our trees flourish. We want them to grow at a good pace. But this should also be kept in mind that overgrowth can also be a concern for the tree’s health. If the trees are not trimmed correctly, they will become weaker and their chances of survival will become less.
While trimming trees, it must be kept in mind that only those limbs to be removed that are infected, diseased, or are interfering with the tree’s health. Trees that undergo regular trimming are healthier, have better growth rates, and better chances of survival.
 
For The Sake Of Safety
It is common for trees to develop diseases and they might also become infected due to pest infestation. In other circumstances, a tree’s limb might be damaged due to some physical factor like thunder or rainstorm. 
In any of the cases mentioned above, the affected tree limb becomes weak. A weak limb is vulnerable to fall at any moment. Such limbs not only can cause damage to the property but also to humans and pets. It is therefore advisable whenever you are facing such a situation where a tree’s limb has weakened. Remove it safely, before it falls accidentally. 
 
For Aesthetics
Many of the trees are merely planted to increase the curb appeal of the property. But if a tree has not been properly taken care of. It can contribute to a declined aesthetic look of a landscape.
If a tree is not properly trimmed it may grow in undesirable patterns and shapes. Sometimes you may often refer to it as unbalanced growth. Improperly trimmed trees must have limbs sprouting in all the odd directions, which give them a very shabby appearance.
That is why all such limbs that are affecting the natural shape of the plant must be trimmed properly. For trimming large trees, it is always recommended to seek the help of a professional.   

Trees are the most long-lived creatures on the planet earth. Some of the trees date back up to a thousand years. A bristlecone pine tree in the white mountain range of California is over 4,700 years old. However, the exact life of a tree depends on its species. 
In case a tree develops a disease or becomes infected by pest infestation. Its life becomes threatened. It can die well before its specified age if proper precautions are not taken. Some certain signs and symptoms can indicate the ailing health of a tree. If these signs are noticed well in time, the tree can be saved. 
 
Dying Tree Signs
Following signs and symptoms help us to identify if a tree is facing a life-threatening condition.
 
Falling and Discolored Leaves
Leaves are a great indicator of a tree’s health. If a tree is full of leaves and still green (or any color that the tree leaves naturally have). Your tree is healthy and does not need any attention.
However, if the tree has missing and discolored leaves, it might be facing some serious conditions. The lessening and discoloration of an ailing tree’s leaves increase with time. This lessening and discoloration could either affect the complete or a part of the tree.
 
Damaged Bark
A healthy tree has continuous and cracks free bark. If visually, you can locate a discontinuous or cracked bark or if there are visible holes. These are the signs of an unhealthy tree. It is time to contact an arborist.
 
Structural Deformity
A healthy tree grows upright and maintains its balance. If a tree is growing unevenly or is falling towards a particular side, that is undesirable. There could be many reasons for a tree to be leaning in a particular direction. These include poor soil structure, outside damage, growth habits, and weak trunk development.
This destabilization could prove fatal in extreme cases and cause a tree to fall.
 
Dried Branches
Branches of a tree are a good indicator of its health. A few dead branches should not cause any concern. But if the number of these dead branches is increasing beyond a normal pace, it is surely a sign of a dying tree.
 
Signs of a Dead Tree
For a person who is not a professional, it could be tricky to ascertain whether a tree is already dead, or it still has some life left in it. The signs of a dead tree are very much like that of a dying tree. However, the severity of these signs would be much more in a dead tree. 
 
Leaves and Branches
A dying tree may have some green leaves left but a dead tree would have almost no leaves attached to the branches. A few that are left would be discolored. Similar is the case with the branches of the tree.
 
Bark
A dead tree would have a bark full of cracks and holes. Much more in frequency as compared to a tree that has still life left in it. Fungal growth is also a common indicator for a dead tree.

Trees help the environment in a significant way. Trees are a beautiful part of nature. Not only they make the earth look more beautiful, provide the raw material for construction, and give shelter to the wildlife. Trees help to keep the environment safe and healthy for other living creatures.
Let us see in detail how trees make the earth a better place to live.
 
Tress Provide Us Oxygen
Trees are responsible for filling our beloved Earth with tons of oxygen. The green plants convert light energy from the sun into mechanical energy. This process is called photosynthesis. As a result of this process, trees release oxygen into the air.
If at any time the trees stop producing oxygen, the earth would have no gaseous oxygen at all. In that case, only a few types of bacteria would survive on earth. 
 
Remove Pollutants
During photosynthesis, not only do trees produce oxygen as a product but also absorb carbon dioxide from the environment. Trees are responsible for purifying the environment from pollutants which include Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. Trees accomplish this purification task through their leaves. Trees also remove tiny particles of organic chemicals, acids, metals, and dust.
These tiny particles can enter human bodies when humans respirate. They can cause lung and cardiovascular diseases in humans.
 
Habitat for Wildlife
Trees are a source of life for a variety of birds, animals, and micro-organisms. When trees are planted in an area, it makes the environment suitable for living. Wildlife is attracted to that area. Trees provide this wildlife a shelter to live in and food to nourish.
Trees enhance the growth diversity of a place. They promote the growth of other plants that would otherwise do not grow. 
 
Food Security
Agricultural lands benefit a lot from the trees. Trees help the soil to retain more water and produce nutrients for the plants. In this way, soil fertility is increased. 
Trees also help to reduce groundwater recharge. This reduces the risk of soil salinization. Soil salinity can affect the growth of plants in a negative way. Plants grown on saline soil may experience several disorders and toxicities. 
Trees help to retain suitable conditions in the soil for the plants to grow and nourish. So, the plantation of trees not only provide food themselves. But also contribute to food production from agricultural plants.  This makes them an excellent food security plant. 
 
Increase Soil Stability
Trees contribute to increasing the stability of the soil. The roots of the trees hold the surface soil and thereby adds to its strength. Trees intercept the falling rain and decrease the runoff it generates. They also help the soil to absorb water. All these factors help to fight soil erosion. 
Erosion leads to the loss of agricultural land. It also increases the pollution and sedimentation in the surface water channels. This leads to the death of many aquatic species. Furthermore, degraded lands have a lesser capacity to hold water and it leads to an increased risk of flooding.
 
Lessening the Temperature
Trees help to reduce the temperature of our planet. They release water into the environment during photosynthesis. Which reduces the temperature of the surrounding air.
Trees also absorb the radiations from the sun and provide shade through their canopies. 

​

Trees are a beautiful gift from nature. They are pleasing to the eye and improve the quality of our environment. Most homeowners are obsessed with the trees that they have. People have memories associated with the trees. Trees that they themselves or their loved ones planted years ago.
 
While under normal circumstances, trees are of great benefit. Sometimes it is essential to have a tree removed. There could be numerous reasons for doing this. Let us consider some of the most common reasons it is better to have a tree removed.
 
Infected Trees
When trees are healthy, they can benefit the environment in an unmatched manner. However, if a tree becomes subject to insect infestation or disease, the situation is different. Certified arborists have a cure for most diseases. The tree could be restored to its normal condition. But if the circumstances are beyond controllable, it is better to have the tree removed. 
 
In certain rare situations, not only the tree is damaging itself and the environment. But it can also have adverse effects on human lives. P. aeruginosa is a type of bacteria that has been identified for creating such situations.
 
Dead Trees
Trees like other living organisms, do not live forever. Some trees have longer lives, while others have relatively shorter. They keep blooming for a specified time and eventually die. Once a tree dies and has dried-up, there is nothing that can be done. 
Upon drying, the tree loses its strength and becomes vulnerable. It poses a danger for the property and its residents. Before it accidentally falls to the ground, it is better to have it removed safely and securely.
 
Structural Hazard
Trees under favorable conditions keep growing and flourishing. Similarly, their roots keep spreading in nearby areas. In certain situations, these roots can affect the nearby structure. The foundation of such infrastructure becomes subject to weakening. In such cases, if the root growth can not be controlled, it is unnegotiable to have the tree removed.
 
Poorly Planned and Planted Trees
If trees are planted without requisite planning, it could result in several problems. Branches of encroaching trees can cause damage to the windows, power supply lines, and other utility carriers. A blooming tree canopy may block the essential sunlight that you may crave for. After several trimming efforts, if these problems persist, it is better to get rid of them at once.
 
In a less likely case, a tree that has been planted based on poor planning may block your favorite view. In another case, it might not contrast well with the rest of the landscape. The solution to such situations is to have it removed and planted in a new location, if possible.
Less Value More Maintenance
There might be some instances when the tree is not fulfilling the desired purpose. Trees do require care and time. If it is making your life difficult instead of making it easier. Taking more and returning less. There is no harm in having it removed and planting the one that returns the best of your time and effort.

This is actually the perfect time to have tree work done. There are a few reasons for this.In the fall or beginning of winter is really the best time and we would like to explain. 

​

Trees can recover much better when they are cut near their hibernation period. Didn’t know trees went into hibernation? They do. It is a state of slowing down in the winter months. If you were to cut a tree in the summertime, the wound would likely release more sap and be fresh for much longer than if you were to cut the tree in the fall, late fall, or winter. The reason for this is that everything about a tree slows down significantly during the colder months. Since the tree isn’t as active the cut gets hard faster and the end dies creating a solid barrier between the inner parts of the tree and the harsh environment. 

​

Another reason that it is better to have your trees trimmed in the colder months is that everything else has come to a slow grind as well. The bugs that would normally swarm a fresh cut to feed and drink off the tree sap would also be in hibernation. The less bugs that come to the cut the less chances the tree has of a disease. The quicker the tree can harden on the wound the less likely chance it has of contracting a tree disease. 

​

The third reason is we tree trimmers like it. We love going out in the crisp cold to get a tree looking nice. We don’t mind it in the heat of summer either but if we had to choose we would definitely pick the cooler days. In the summer you can only take so many layers of clothes off before you get kicked off the property or get arrested, but in the winter we can add as many layers as we want. Also, when we are working hard our body heat from burning calories is keeping us nice and warm. 

​

The last reason is kind of preference as well and that would be because tree service companies are much slower in the colder season. People aren’t outside as much thinking about how their trees need work therefore they call less. Since we become slower you get much quicker service. Many other service businesses have peak season as well. The less dotted our schedule is the quicker we can get to each job. Also, it would have a slight effect on pricing as well in the customers favor. We tend to bid jobs a little lower in the cold months to get more business so that we keep busy. It does work in your favor!

​

If you choose to call us in the hot or cold we want to say we appreciate your call. We will still bring you the best value in Evansville for tree service. Call us anytime at 812-420-1835. Thank you as well for giving us excellent reviews.

If you're like most people you've probably never heard of a dibble. A dibble  is a tool used to push the dirt out of the way so that you can successfully plant a new tree. A dibble  is used not to plant big trees with the plant very small trees because it moves the ground out of the way where you have about a 3 to 6 in opening wide and about 6 in to 10 in deep. This opening will allow enough room for you to put the root of the tree you're going to plant in it and that will allow you to let the tree grow so let's get started. 

The first thing you're going to notice about the dibble is it has an edge to place your foot on. This allows you to push down with your foot just as if you would be pushing  a shovel in the ground. So you take the dibble and you put your foot on it and push it down into the ground. Once you have it in the ground you work it push the handle back and forth all the way forward and all the way back so that it creates a hole. You  or simply moving the dirt out of the way to create a hole in the ground. Once you've created that whole then you can get your tree or other plant and begin that process.

Take your plant and put the root in the hole that you've just made with the dibble. Be careful here not to let your root bend back when placing it in the small hole. Call creating a j with your route and it's not healthy for the new plant. So If you have your tree root in the hole and you make sure that it's not too deep. Amber from prior articles you want to keep a little bit of the top of the root exposed so that your tree can grow properly. Make sure the tree is straight up and down so that it's not growing sideways or at an angle. The next thing we're going to do is push the dirt back onto the roots again with the dibble. 

Using your foot to put on the edge of the Dibble you would put it on an angle near the whole you already made and push it in the ground. Going to do this about 10 in from the current hole that's already there the one that has the tree in it. Once you have the Dibble stuck in the ground add an angle near the other hole you simply push the handle of the devil towards the hole so as to push the dirt up against the tree roots. Once that's accomplished you take your foot and press around  a newly planted tree. This way you can push all of the air and make sure the dirt is firm around the newly planted tree. This will allow the tree to be secure upright and grow healthy and for many years.

​

The next three on our list is called a silver maple. You have probably seen these trees around because they grow everywhere from the bottom of the country in America all the way to up in Canada.  They aren't bad looking trees and they also grow quickly which means you get shade pretty quick out of them. while the top grows fast The Roots also grow fast so fast in fact that it will tear up your concrete sewage lines or pipes, basically anything you have near them.  They also drop thousands of new seeds every year. Even if you plant this tree where it won't damage anything else the problem becomes with all the seeds of drops. Eventually one of those seeds is going somewhere where it shouldn't be. Then that little seed is going to grow into a tree if not cut down immediately then you'll have damage on your hands. It's just better not to plant this tree in your yard. 

​We hope you have enjoyed this article on the worst trees to have on your property. Please remove the trees on this list if you have them on your property. this way they don't become a threat. If you are a  property owner leave us a comment on the many problems these trees have caused so other people can see what kind of damage they've done. ​
