Aside from his 7 years of service as a Navy SEAL, Tom has been in the tree care industry for 22 years. Recently, he has been focusing on tree preservation and has been responsible for registering several state and national champion status trees he has come across in his work. Tom says, "God gave trees the ability to live for hundreds and in some cases thousands of years." How can you not respect that? His goal is to do his part in keeping trees healthy so that they can live to their full potential for generations to come.
Poor Folks Tree Service will plant small trees and one of our on staff arborists can make recommendations for the appropriate tree for any situation. It is important to know the potential height and root structure of a tree prior to planting. Trees with large root systems can damage walkways, driveways, fences, and even house foundations. Additionally, it is important to know light requirements for the variety of tree being planted. Even if you plan to plant the trees yourself, Poor Folks Tree Service offers consulting services at $75 per hour (one hour minimum) to assist you with the planning of your project.
If you want your trees to live to their full potential, it is crucial that you understand the basics of tree care first. First and foremost is the use of proper equipment and technique. Hacking off limbs improperly leave unsightly wounds that cannot heal healthily. Improper cuts also expose the tree to rot and decay. Removing more than 20% of the canopy at one time distresses the tree and causes excessive sucker growth. Photosynthesis is an integral part of a tree's life process. A tree that is completely topped out will inevitably become distressed.
