Hamilton Garden & Arbor-ism
Arborism isn't a word, you're right. But a slightly playful tweak on words never sent a car over the edge of a cliff to it's fiery doom.
We are garden arborists, small trees and medium trees needing attention, inspection, mending, pruning and sadly sometimes felling.
This is our bailiwick, but weeding, and garden maintenance falls under good pruning method also. Understanding soil inadequacies and spotting disease, pests and rot, while knowing how to remedy these problems is the other half. Knowing we don't know everything but we are diligent to get sound solutions in place to restore peace to your gardens, yards and even homes.
A Native and A Juniper wrestle for dominance and sunlight. The customer quite likes the blooms on the Native and has requested it remain along with the juniper. There is notable rot on lower limbs and many crossing members intertwined with a tulip tree behind it.
On Site Inspections
Quotes over the phone are only as good as the airwaves they ride on. Our quotes are in person after an on site inspection to alleviate the possibility that unforeseen costs could crop up their ugly heads. We will talk about what it is you want done, and sometimes more importantly what you don't want done. We offer many tiers of service to accommodate all the needs of our clientele.
on the right the Juniper hangs over the driveway dropping adult scales onto the driveway. Also obstructing the view as you back out just a touch.
Attention to Detail
We don't neglect important details. The customer didn't even request we address the leaves from the juniper and other coniferous trees because they didn't think anyone could resolve it without tree removal. We don't like cleaning our automobiles from tree debris either. A quick jump into this tree revealed multiple wasp nests, dead wood and rot in a broken branch. The cost to address this now instead of neglecting it will save them thousands and will save a beautiful tree from the firewood pile.
This coniferous looking bush is actually a juniper cut back and trained into a hedge of sorts. it has rot and dead wood all throughout it. Despite that it is quite a beautiful hedge. Selective thinning and clearing of the dead wood will be essential for this juniper hedge to thrive. Also because of the obscure growth patterns it will be a wonderful play area for kids and the resident wildlife.
Healthy alternatives to hedge trimmers
ANSI A300 pruning methods are tried and true. We can use a hedge trimmer if you want, but our preferred method is to thin, raise, reduce and clean. A hedge is never truly past the point of no return, but patience needs to be exercised as many hedges will not survive too harsh a cut back. We can set and implement plans to work with the plant and your schedule to best aid in healthy and beautiful hedges.
