<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With the short, mild weather of this past winter, it looks as
though weeds are getting a head start this spring. As for the south, the main
weed everyone dreads is the choking, enveloping kudzu vine. The invasive plant takes over just
about any field, climbs tall timbers and is a nuisance to eradicate. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most landowners in states like Mississippi and Alabama have
done just about anything to eliminate the destructive plant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though the vines are easy to mow or mulch,
the mechanical method doesn’t seem to be the most effective <a href="http://atlanta.premieretreeservices.com/kudzu_removal.html">kudzu removal</a>
technique. In fact, time spent plowing over the green foliage doesn’t expel the
root of the plant is likely wasted as surface sheering doesn’t expel the root
crown. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><em>Biological Growth Control </em></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Herbicides may be effective in the long run, but they
require dousing gallons upon gallons of chemical over a period of a few years
before results are successful. That cost adds up very quickly and can even affect
surrounding plants and groundwater sources. However, there are a few biological
attacks that arborists have attempted to parry the kudzu plant into submission.
Here are just a few new kudzu removal techniques that may be worth trying this
year.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bacterial Blights<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the past, blights have caused detrimental damage to large
sources of crop plants including, potatoes, corn, tomatoes and apple
trees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Blights are naturally occurring
pathogenic organisms that affect plants through mold and other water-born
fungi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They affect plant tissue by
causing complete chlorosis, which is depriving the plant of essential
nutrients. Soon the plant tissue begins to brown and die. Applying blights in a
controlled manner to kudzu plants has been tested as a positive candidate for
biological growth control and ultimately utilized as kudzu removal. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Insect Herbivory<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Insect herbivory is simply a method of introducing
controlled amounts of insects that are anatomically adapted to eating
particular plants. By applying this biological attack, specific insects are
encouraged to devour parts of the kudzu plant therefore causing significant
damage and even killing the plant. Because kudzu is a native plant to southern
Asia, and not to southern United States, there are few known insects that are
natural predators to the plant. Therefore, research is being conducted to find
the appropriate insects to use in controlling the growth and aiding in
eliminating the devastating kudzu vine. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Seed Predation<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Similar to herbivory, seed predation is a biological method
of introducing natural predators to consume the kudzu plant. By consuming the
seeds of the plant, the insects not only chomp through the leaves and vines of
the plant, they interrupt the germination of the plant and alleviate the amount
of regrowth or spreading of the vine. So far, field tests have found that more
than twenty-five species of insects are feeding on the kudzu plant in areas of
<a href="http://www.chapelhilltreeservices.com/residential_services.html">North Carolina</a>. Of these predators, the sawfly and several different
leaf-eating beetles were identified. The best thing about these predators is
that they have no known hosts. </span></div>

across the southeast, there stands a forerunner as studies hone in on an
effective method of biological control. The fungal pathogen known as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mythrocium verrucaria</i> has shown the best
results against kudzu vines. The fungus has been used as a pesticide on other
plants and grows well in temperatures matching those of the southeastern region.
The organism does not venture beyond the areas in which they are introduced,
keeping surrounding vegetation and bordering crops safe from consumption.
However, the one drawback is that the fungus is highly toxic to mammals.
Extreme caution must be used in applying this type of biological attack, which
is why it has not yet been released as an accepted kudzu removal strategy.
Hopes are that the pathogen can be applied in closely moderated areas.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There are times that you need to remove trees
from your property for various reasons. The reason could be to clear the yard
for a construction project you are planning, or you need to improve your
landscape, or may be the trees have become a threat to life and properly
already because it is decaying if not dead. Whatever the reason, you need to
hire the services of a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.beverlyhillstreepro.com/">professional tree removal</a></b>
company to the job for you. Don’t think you can do the job alone, especially if
you don’t have background on tree cutting. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Trees can be big and tall, making them
difficult to remove. Unless you are removing a young tree whose diameter is
less than ten inches and less than 20 feet tall, don’t take it upon yourself.
Nevertheless, you need to learn the basic steps in removing a tree, whether you
want to do it alone or you want to hire a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">professional
tree removal</i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>company. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">To start, survey the area around your tree
and check if there are any obstacles. Things to watch out are power lines and
other utility cables in the immediate vicinity. The general rule would to give
a clearance of about ten feet from the trees nearby. Next, check the tree’s
natural lean because it is in that direction that the tree must fall. This
means the undercut should the first cut you should make to guide the direction
of the fall. In felling the tree, the back-cut must be at least 2 inches taller
compared to the undercut’s bottom. Once the tree starts to fall, everyone must
move away and stay in the opposite direction. Once the tree is down, cut its
limbs into smaller pieces for easy disposal. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Bigger trees, those that are more than ten
inches in diameter and are 20 feet high or more, need special equipment that
only a professional tree service company is trained to handle. Trees this big
and this tall are too risky to handle by amateurs. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Spring has seemingly sprung in parts of the southeast as temperatures
are on the rise and gray clouds disperse. Now is the perfect time to perform
<a href="http://www.mariettatrees.com/residential_services.html">professional tree care</a> maintenance on your trees to ensure a healthy growing
season. Not sure where to start? Here are a few tips to get you on track.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Start from the Bottom<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your trees’ root system is vital to a healthy appearance and
mature growth. Taking care of these fragile lifelines is essential throughout
the year, but spring has the most ideal weather conditions. The mild climate of Georgia
thaws the soil and allows pesticides to absorb more effectively. Making sure
roots are watered adequately and fertilized appropriately will help keep them
strong and resistant to harmful insects and bacteria near Roswell. Using a
mixture of water and pesticides that are specific to the types of trees in your
area can also prevent tree diseases from spreading. </span></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiihRf5griS2K6W3icHWVc9gaQAZhFbscAtYCGmlW9qK1bCKf1jgN13Vm14D7dRQtZpP8AxBsyDcQSMJOUXzLIzx9ljAHHjoUn6DqP_NfbItDXg514OnuQxLC4_kPirai3e5pHSdIHxqGM/s1600/tree2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiihRf5griS2K6W3icHWVc9gaQAZhFbscAtYCGmlW9qK1bCKf1jgN13Vm14D7dRQtZpP8AxBsyDcQSMJOUXzLIzx9ljAHHjoUn6DqP_NfbItDXg514OnuQxLC4_kPirai3e5pHSdIHxqGM/s320/tree2.jpg" width="214" /></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Work Your Way Up<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Though most trees are trimmed in the fall when they’ve lost
all of their leaves, early spring is still an ideal time to trim trees. Trimming
off overgrowth gives the tree’s new blossoms room to breathe and corrects any
abnormal growth patterns. It’s also best to cut away any broken, rotting, or
diseased portions of the tree to maintain the trunk’s integrity. Average
temperatures in <a href="http://www.mariettatrees.com/pricing.html">Marietta </a>give trees
enough time to scab and heal before harmful insects take harbor. With newer
trees, it may be time to trim lower branches to create proper height.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

Man (or bug)</span> <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Spring is the best time for burrowing insects to emerge,
feed and breed. Protect your trees from the inside out to prevent defoliation
and tree disease. Tree spraying in Marietta is the optimal safeguard for trees, plants and
shrubs. Pesticides, insecticides and fungicides are all easy to administer to
the soil around the tree’s root ball. Taller trees that are susceptible to defoliation
may require professional tree spraying to reach the canopy. </span></div>

ensure that your trees get the proper treatment. Call on <a href="http://www.mariettatrees.com/contact_us.html">Premiere Tree Services</a>

Among the most popular ways of controlling pests and diseases in fruit trees is organic spraying. If you are <a href="http://kansascitymo.premieretreeservices.com/">tree spraying in Kansas City, MO</a>, you must consider using organic spray because of its many benefits. Tree spraying using traditional pesticides are still widely used, but more and more tree owners are now shifting to organic. There are several important reasons for this. One very important reason has to do with health. Organic sprays are considered harmless to one’s health, while the traditional spraying that uses chemicals has been known to pose serious health issues. Another reason has to do with the environment. Organic tree sprays are not known to cause harmful effects on the environment compared to the chemical sprays that poisons the environment. <br />
<br />
The following are some of the common types of fruit tree sprays that are organic. These organic sprays are effective for tree spraying in Kansas City, MO. It works well in killing insects and larvae that are overwintering. <br />
<br />
<b>Lime Sulphur/Horticultural Oil Mixture</b><br />
<br />
This type of organic spray for fruit trees is composed of horticultural oil and lime sulphur mixture that can sometimes be purchased premixed. You can also purchase a kit and do your mixture. The lime sulphur component of the mixture is a natural fungicide that kills bacteria or fungus spores that are dormant. The horticulture oil component is use for smothering overwintering eggs or insects. The best time to use this spray is in spring right before the swelling of the buds. Otherwise, you face the risk of burning the new leaves. It can also be sprayed when the temperature is between 32 degrees F (0 degrees Celsius) and 70 F (20 degrees Celsius) for not more than 24 hours. This is because the spray’s oil part requires time to kill the insects and their eggs.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Water/Horticultural Oil Mixture</b><br />
<br />
This second type of organic spray is effective for spring use and all summer. Just be sure to do the spraying early in the morning, or when the weather is a lot cooler and trees and vegetation have cooled off. This mixture is not as messy as the first type of fruit trees.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Homemade Mixture of Natural Tree Spray</b><br />
<br />
You can also come up with your own mixture for your tree spraying in Kansas City, MO project. You can buy your own ingredients at any organic farming store. The store will also offer you brochures on how to do the mixing.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH">Unknown to many homeowners, removing a tree
from their yard requires proper handling. <a href="http://www.chapelhilltreeservices.com/tree_removal.html">Tree removal in Chapel
Hill</a> can be a bit complicated depending on the property concentration in a
particular area. There are several important practices to ensure that trees are
properly taken down. These are to ensure the safety of properties around or
right under the tree and the people living nearby.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH">First thing to do is to perform an
inspection on the area where the tree removal will be done. Check if there’s an
ample space below in case that tree branches fall down while cutting. Tree
limbs and branches should be cut down to small sizes, enough for the personnel
to handle. And lastly, people working on the tree removal must wear proper
working clothes and safety gears, and use quality equipment to avoid accidents.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH">Since many of us are inexperienced in this
procedure, it is recommended to hire the services of tree removal companies in
your state to perform the job for you. There is an established market of tree
removal in Chapel Hill so finding one is never that tedious.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH">Safety is the topmost priority in every
tree removal procedure. Even professional tree removers don’t take risks in
cutting trees unprotected. It is important to follow safety precautions in
every project. This includes wearing protective gear, especially for the head,
leather gloves as protection from sharp splinters, and a pair of heavy duty
boots with ankle support and that won’t slip to provide good hold white cutting
the trees.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH">Ensuring the area to be clutter-free is
vital to avoid serious accidents that may cause injuries or damage properties.
If several establishments are present nearby, exert more effort in carefully
cutting the tree down. Branches should be cautiously put down and dropping the
tree should be done with guidance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH">Also take note of power lines getting in
the way. A single mistake of a branch falling down, cutting power lines can
cause a blackout around the vicinity. With this, tree removal services must
coordinate with the local energy company for this concern. They may help you in
keeping power lines out of the way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH">A quick research online will lead you to
the best service provider of tree removal in <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&georestrict=input_srcid:639fb3455281dc37">Chapel
Hill</a>. Check out the rates for their services, quality of equipment, and
testimonials from customers to have an idea on how they perform. This will also
help you prepare for the upcoming expenses.</span></div>

Production Posits New Biofuel Source<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How would you like to be a seaweed picker? I bet you never
knew that job position even existed! Well it does off the coast of Chile, and
for good reason. Chilean aquafarms are harvesting abundant supplies of
naturally-growing brown seaweed as a way to produce a new source of biofuel. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Brown Seaweed Biofuel
Discovery <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The recent development of an engineered microbe produced by
Berkeley-based scientists of Bio Architecture Lab, Inc. (BAL) does some amazing
things to brown seaweed. The enzyme's main contribution to science is its ability to
consume the sugars of brown seaweed and convert it into biofuel. In the race to
find more sustainable fuel sources to power our planet, biofuel is the new hope
for the future. This major advance in the fuel industry can change the course
of progression for the US.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Much like the E. coli bacteria from which the microbes were derived,
scientists have outfitted enzymes to attack the primary sugars of brown seaweed.
These primary sugars, called alginate, then metabolize into ethanol. Scientists
hope that this microscopic enzyme will become a biofuel alternative to oil and
coal, which are the predominate sources of fossil fuels.</span></div>

Efforts <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">According to recent studies, only three percent of our
oceans can produce enough seaweed to keep up with our fossil fuel demand.
Coastal Chile is the destination of four aquafarms, but the frigid waters of
Northern Pacific ports like <a href="http://seattle.premieretreeservices.com/shrub_removal.html">Seattle</a> and <a href="http://portland.premieretreeservices.com/debris_hauling.html">Portland</a> are teeming with brown seaweed
as well. Oceanic plants are desirable as a source of renewable energy because they
don’t compete with any other crops used for food, such as corn and sugar cane. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Over the next three years energy experts hope to increase
the microbe technology in an attempt at commercialization. Research shows that
with enhanced production seaweed can produce twice the level of ethanol from
sugar cane and five times the amount of ethanol from corn. What’s even better
news is that <a href="http://www.myrenotreeservice.com/land_clearing.html">land clearing</a> for mass production of corn and cane sugar would
decrease if brown seaweed proved easier to harvest in a more contained
location. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Because of the thousands of acres it takes to produce enough
corn and sugar cane to produce enough biofuel for our country’s demand, brown
seaweed harvesting takes the cake. Seaweed requires no watering or
fertilization. It doesn’t compete with food crops or require crop rotation, nor
does it require chemical enhancements. The naturally-occurring nutrients are
supplies by the ocean’s ecosystem, which appeals to eco-conscious consumers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Boston’s Winter Moth May Cause Untold Devastation </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Boston has witnessed the destructive behavior of winter
moths every spring in eastern Massachusetts with absolutely no idea how to stop
it. Winter moth caterpillars devour holes through newly blossomed foliage of
shrubs, apple trees, maples, oaks and blueberry bushes. Because they have no
natural predators in New England their population growth continues to increase
year after year. It’s been a burden on the local forests and has even affected
commercial and residential areas as well. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Local entomologists estimated trillions of winter moth
larvae consumed more than 100,000 acres of trees in Massachusetts in 2005, with
the trail of destruction augmenting about 4 or 5 miles each year. Thousands of
trees were left bare from Boston to Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and New
Hampshire. <a href="http://boston.premieretreeservices.com/trimming_pruning.html">Tree services</a> in the Boston area were forced to shorn dozens of
branches and remove decaying shrubs. Though tree spraying has become a viable
option, entomologists suggest a more organic solution. </div>

<b><i>Cyzenis Albicans to the Rescue</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Native to Europe, the moth has species-specific predators, called
the Cyzenis Albican, that control the population, but none of them exist in the
Boston. Without a balanced ecosystem the moths could ravage the area until the
resource is depleted. This isn’t good news for the beloved trees of Massachusetts
metropolis, the outlying cities Boston or for the native insects and animals
that thrive on these trees. But since 2005 these greedy flies have been
released into the vicinity to combat the spread of these destructive moths. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The <span style="color: black;">Massachusetts Department of
Conservation and Recreation and the US Department of Agriculture has ordered
the containment of the winter moth in six areas of eastern Massachusetts
including Falmouth, Yarmouth, Seekonk, Hingham, Wellesley, and Wenham. With a
controlled release of moths entering the affected areas, the flies are a
welcome inhabitant. They are considered safe for the survival of the natural
ecosystem because they target the winter moth and no other species. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">How exactly does this tiny fly eat a winter moth? It’s
all in the eggs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">The Cyzenis albicans, a parasitic fly, lays its eggs
near the food source of caterpillars. When the caterpillar consumes the larvae the
eggs continues to grow and hatch in its stomach. Essentially the fly devours
the caterpillar from the inside out, both feeding simultaneously. It’s
considered a win-win for the fly. That’s one tenacious bug!</span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: black;">Restorative Tree Care</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">For those trees that have fallen victim to the
wide-spreading winter moth, it may be too late to salvage the loss of foliage.
With literally millions of moths burrowing into a single tree, tree removal may
be essential to the safety of people and structures nearby. However, some trees
are luckier than others and may only require tree trimming. Professional
restorative care such as tree trimming, tree spraying, or tree removal can mitigate
the destruction of these mischievous moths. </span></div>

Tree spraying involves different techniques depending on the type of tree and the type of pest in question. This is not to mention the amount of caution you need to exercise in handling those potentially harmful chemicals.

If you use water, you can use sprinklers, a hose, drip irrigation or a spray hose to water your trees. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then proceed to spraying the ground around the tree if it is newly planted or if it is about two years old. You will need to saturate the area several times each month. Once weekly or every two weeks is fine, depending on the type of oil and the tree species. When the water begins to pool, you stop spraying.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If the tree is more than two years old, check its leaf canopy. You will have to spray under the canopy’s outer edge and around the tree. Avoid spraying right directly on the trunk because the tree’s roots are not centrally located anymore.

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A few years ago my friend was recounting her recent visit to California when she mentioned something peculiar. She said when she was riding down the highway just outside of </span><a href="http://escondido.premieretreeservices.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Escondido</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> she was taken by surprise at the “Dr. Seuss-like” trees sticking out of the tawny grass of the countryside. A native of the East Coast, she hadn’t ever seen these types of crooked trees before. But that wasn’t the most unusual discovery. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To get a better view, she opened the window and breathed in the fresh air of the landscape. Suddenly, an unmistakable aroma invaded her nose that she wasn’t prepared to experience. The smell of fragrant garlic wafted through the air, which to her was the scent of heaven. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Wait” I said, “Garlic? Are you sure?”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But really it was a rhetorical question because she could pick up the smell of garlic from the faintest of fumes. After all, she eats garlic on just about anything. So it wasn’t a question of “what”, but more a question of “why”.</span> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nature's Tree Spray Alternative</span></b> <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chances are she drove by a field of garlic growing in the wilds of California, but the more likely scenario isn’t so straight forward. What she may have smelled was Garlic Barrier. A natural pesticide, Garlic Barrier contains 99.3% of pure garlic extract. It’s used by organic farmers to protect their crops from insects and nearby wildlife. Because of its natural properties, the non-invasive liquid concentrate is preferred by farmers as way to repel hungry critters without giving them a dose of lethal chemicals. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The downside is that crops give off the distinctive aroma of pungent garlic. But that beats the downside of losing crops to deer, rabbits, and those pesky blood-sucking mosquitoes. Speaking of blood-sucking, I’m sure you could keep away vampires as well.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As an alternative to chemical </span><a href="http://www.premieretreeservices.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">tree spraying</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> chemicals, Garlic Barrier can be used on any type of crop from tomato plants to cotton, alfalfa and fruit trees. </span></div>Ben Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18280106496061218057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544938746396488958.post-39118312103335410682011-12-27T09:23:00.000-08:002011-12-27T09:23:57.691-08:00Tree Spraying: Keeping Your Fruit Trees HealthyThe importance of spraying your fruit trees should not be underestimated. Spraying, along with other tree services such as pruning and <a href="http://dayton.premieretreeservices.com/tree_pruning.html">trimming</a>, protects trees against pests and diseases, thus keeping them healthy and strong and maximizing their fruit-bearing capabilities. Tree spraying in Dayton can be done with the help of a professional tree service company, or you can do it on your own. Either way, you need to know some basic information on how to spray your trees the right way.<br />
<br />
First thing to know are the tools to be used in tree spraying. The use of proper tools and equipment makes the job easier to do and faster. Choose a sprayer that is of excellent quality. You can visit any store that sells farming tools and inquire more about tree spraying equipment. You will not go through all the hassle if you decide to hire experts in tree spraying in Dayton.<br />
<br />
<b>Choosing The Type Of Spray</b><br />
You can choose from any of the several spray products available in the market today. Of these products, the most commonly used are the organic type, usually made from mineral oil, which is good for suffocating pests. Sulphur and copper also work pretty well against fungus. But avoid using sulphur products on apricot trees. Also wait for thirty days from the time you used oil spray before using sulphur spray products.<br />
<br />
<b>How To Spray Fruit Trees</b><br />
Tree spraying should be done during a calm weather. The spray will be blown away by wind, wasting your investment. In a calm day, you can get a thorough covering of your trees, from the tip of the branches to the trunk’s base. In spraying, cover the area under the tree. Also spray the root area. If you are spraying near a pond, make sure there will be no spray particles that drift into the water. Sprays are mostly poisonous to fish. And to protect yourself, wear glasses and gloves. Chemicals, even if you are using organic ones, may cause some amount of harm.<br />
<br />
Choosing the time of the year to do your tree spraying is important. Expert tree spraying companies know when the best time is to do tree spraying. Check the climate in your locality. The best time to do <a href="http://dayton.premieretreeservices.com/">tree spraying in Dayton</a> must depend on what particular part of the year that pests attack trees.<br />
<br />
Generally, though, winter is a good time to do an oil spray because the trees are leafless and dormant, an anti-fungus spray before the opening of flower buds and another spraying after the petals of flowers have dropped.Ben Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18280106496061218057noreply@blogger.com0Hill St, Dayton, OH 45409, USA39.7470986 -84.18526139.7455726 -84.187728499999992 39.7486246 -84.1827935tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544938746396488958.post-53185157411998423472011-12-20T11:02:00.000-08:002011-12-20T11:09:19.981-08:00The History of Charleston's Palmetto Tree<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Since the Revolutionary War the palmetto tree has been synonymous
with <a href="http://hiltonhead.premieretreeservices.com/">South Carolina</a> and a symbol of victory against the British. After Col.
William Moultrie’s heroic defense of the palmetto-log fort on Sullivan’s island
in 1776, the palmetto tree became an indelible emblem of triumph. In 1775 the
original state flag depicted a crescent moon against a dark blue background,
but was redesigned a year later to include the palm. The flag was adopted with
its amendment in 1861. To this day, South Carolinians harbor a profound
gratitude towards the tree that helped them fortify the coast and ward off a
British invasion. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Palmetto logs were used to construct the fort at Sullivan’s
Island because they grew in abundance along the coast. Little did the troops –
on either side – know how defensible the resilient trunks would be against
British ammunition. The hearty stalks absorbed cannonball fire and sustained
only minimal damage, leaving the fort intact. The British eventually retreated in
1782 and South Carolina laid claim to the city of <a href="http://charleston.premieretreeservices.com/tree_removal.html">Charleston</a>. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Official State Tree</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In 1939 the palmetto, also known as a sabal palm or cabbage
palm, became the official state tree of South Carolina. Undoubtedly recalling
the rich history of the state, the palm represents the fierce independence of
the people who settled there. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Palmetto Tree Facts</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Palmettos grow tall and lean, reaching heights of 40 to 50
feet. And though the tree can grow straight or curved, the fibrous trunk is surprisingly
sturdy. The root system is equally strapping, making it easy to adapt to salty
or dry soil conditions. A native to Spain, the palmetto could even thrive in
desert landscapes such as <a href="http://phoenix.premieretreeservices.com/palm_tree_removal.html">Phoenix </a>or Reno. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Indicative of the coastal lands in and around Charleston,
the palmetto also grows in parts of Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. Among
the species of plants native to the southern United States, the palmetto is nearly
hurricane proof, often the only tree standing after heavy rains and sea swells
have snapped live oaks and pines. For that, it has become a favorite among
coastal residents, often lining streets and shading homes. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Citizens of Charleston turn to professional tree services to
trim the tall branches, which are susceptible to roaches and other sub-tropical
insects. Palmetto trees are not only an important landscape feature throughout
the city, the leaves are often used for salads and pickling. </span></div>

Dedications</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finding the perfect gift for family and friends around the
holidays can be a grueling endeavor. Everyone expects to get what’s on their
Christmas list so they don’t have to stand in the Returns line the day after
Christmas. But there’s a way to give a meaningful gift that anyone would love without
standing in any lines. TreePeople of Los Angeles suggests gifting a tree this
year. Ordering a dedication tree offers a long lasting gift that people all
over the state of </span><a href="http://beverlyhills.premieretreeservices.com/about_us.html"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">California</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> can
enjoy for years to come. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each year, thousands of gift trees are ordered through
TreePeople, as well as other gift tree websites, and are becoming a popular
gift for all occasions. Gifting a tree not only makes a wonderful gift for the
holidays, it can also commemorate a special occasion such as an anniversary,
birthday, new birth, or dedication to a lost loved one.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsf7yNRzcMK3FoJbzr8-Z23QxiUfxiyTIZWtqJr2D-zmmdtd1HsUhOlbzlrzgS3P6FKd_S0ajDkdj3vSrZHuzbVXx0fM27gVWzKB5sTDyMMUlwXVZuDmxeiJsxlqrOZ0Qsl3A73RjNyG4/s1600/dedicate-a-tree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsf7yNRzcMK3FoJbzr8-Z23QxiUfxiyTIZWtqJr2D-zmmdtd1HsUhOlbzlrzgS3P6FKd_S0ajDkdj3vSrZHuzbVXx0fM27gVWzKB5sTDyMMUlwXVZuDmxeiJsxlqrOZ0Qsl3A73RjNyG4/s1600/dedicate-a-tree.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A gift tree is also an eco-conscious contribution to restoring
the local environment and involving friends and family in the rebuilding of our
nation’s forests. TreePeople, based in Los Angeles, have received donations
from residents as far as </span><a href="http://www.sandiegocatreeservice.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">San Diego</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
who have donated trees to honor their loved ones, in an effort to revitalize
the Angeles National Forest in California. The donations help plant new trees
as well as maintain trees that have been donated already. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Though TreePeople doesn’t know exactly where your tree will
be planted, and can’t guarantee a specific location, all dedication trees are planted
within in the park woodlands and mountain forests of the Angeles National
Forest. The area has been chosen because of deforestation caused by wildfires,
neglect, and other natural causes. Because so many trees are donated throughout
the</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">year, it’s not possible to put markers on every tree, but participation is
encouraged. If you’d like to make your gift exceptionally special, </span><a href="http://www.sandiegocatreeservice.com/tree_planting.html"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">tree planting</span></a></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> events are open to
dedicators and recipients. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the holiday season, each donation is given special
attention by presenting your honoree with a personalized greeting card and a certificate
of announcement as a token of gratitude.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year think outside the big box stores and celebrate the
future of our planet. Tree donations start at $25 and multiple trees can be
donated at a discount. Perhaps you’re looking for a way to</span> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">involve your friends
and family in green efforts – donating a tree is a great way to show them how
they can make a difference.</span></div>

Nothing is more sacred to the Ohio State University faculty, staff, and student body than the iconic buckeye trees on campus. For a University whose mascot is a tree, preserving these precious arbors takes vigilance and a little help from a <a href="http://cincinnati.premieretreeservices.com/">local tree service company</a>. One of the ways in which OSU has maintained the health of so many of their trees is through cabling and bracing.<br />
<br />
Cabling and bracing, the most common type of structural aid for trees, involves the installation of cables and anchors. By connecting a split or overgrown branch to another stronger branch, that once precarious limb can continue to thrive. Think of cabling and bracing as an alternative to pruning. By keeping the structural integrity of the tree sound without sacrificing the canopy, the man-made hardware allows trees to flourish in confidence.<br />
<br />
This is great news to devoted OSU personnel as they have banned together to become a “Tree Campus”. The honorary recognition, awarded by the <a href="http://www.arborday.org/" target="_blank">Arbor Day Foundation</a>, is given to universities who have developed ways to foster tree preservation on campus. Current Tree Campus USA recipients have made a concentrated effort to connect with the community beyond campus borders, adopted learning opportunities for the student body, and encouraged urban forestry efforts. Most importantly, these universities have well-managed tree populations, which are realized by conducting tree inventories.<br />
<br />
OSU could be next on the list of universities with this honorable mention. With the help of software programs such as Google Earth and i-Tree, students are able to map the landscape of their campus and inventory what type of trees there are and the quantity. Not only does this inventory help recognize OSU as a Tree Campus USA, it allows students to evaluate the importance of trees in urban areas. It’s a learning experience that is constructive to the local ecosystem.<br />
<br />
Tree cabling is recommended for trees that require additional support – typically heavy hardwood trees like the ones on OSU campus. Additional structural bracing helps poorly structured trees from breaking under the weight of snow and ice in frosty Ohio winters. However, there are two types of cabling that<br />
work differently.<br />
<br />
Dynamic cabling allows trees to sway naturally in heavy winds by connecting branches to other branches instead of to the trunk. The tree is still able to strengthen itself over time and compensate for previous weaknesses. Dynamic cabling also uses less invasive hardware to avoid harming the tree bark.<br />
<br />
Static cabling is used with more severe structural damage. Limbs that are splitting or cracked can lead to catastrophic failure without installing hefty hardware directly into the tree. For that matter, many balk at this method because it involves permanent bolts that pierce the entire branch, which interferes with the tree’s natural fortification of the tissue.<br />
<br />
Whichever method is adopted to strengthen the trees on OSU campus is up to the <a href="http://cincinnati.premieretreeservices.com/experience_matters.html">tree service</a> company they call, but they both offer benefits in the long run. Cabling and bracing prevent failure in trees with structural weakness that are otherwise healthy, restore damaged limbs that would otherwise be removed, and mitigate hazardous collapses and premature removal of the entire tree.<br />
<br />

With the football season in high step, Ohio State University is busy achieving other goals unrelated to the playoffs. The OSU buckeyes have a much more universal benchmark involving their campus and the trees therein. Let’s hope for the sake of the environment that they make rank.</div>Ben Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18280106496061218057noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544938746396488958.post-54905324351456279872011-10-24T07:00:00.000-07:002011-10-24T07:00:07.662-07:00Save A Forest, Plant A Tree, But Do It Right<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have been told thousands of times about the
importance of planting trees. But how many of these plant-a-tree campaigns
teach us how to plant trees? The reason why many trees don’t live years is that
they were not planted the proper way. Planting a tree does not consist of
simply digging a hole, burying a seedling there and praying it will grow into a
giant shelter for wild birds. Proper procedures have to be followed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In fact, anything related to trees must be done
with the help of professionals. In Cumming, GA, there are companies who offer
any type of service regarding trees. Since there are many of them in existence,
and you don’t have time to research on each one of them, you can ask companies
like <a href="http://premieretreeservices.com/" target="_blank">Premiere Trees
Services</a> to help you out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Premiere Trees Services can link you to any of
the <a href="http://cumming.premieretreeservices.com/" target="_blank">tree
service Cumming, GA</a> companies for your tree planting concerns. On your own, you need to do some research too. If
you plan to have lush trees around your house, you will have to care for them.
And you cannot look after your trees if you don’t anything about the basics in
tree planting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First off, you need to decide if what you want is
horticultural or wildland planting. If you are living in an urban environment,
horticultural <a href="http://cumming.premieretreeservices.com/tree_planting.html" target="_blank">tree planting</a> is the most practical option. This is the
type of tree planting used by house owners who want to have a green landscaping
for their property.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Horticultural plants usually have intact root
balls, which makes possible to plant them in any season. They also need to be
taken care of more meticulously since they serve not just as shades but as
ornaments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to revive an entire forest, wildland
planting is for you. This is the type of planting initiated by governments and
organizations to save forests and wild vegetations. Since it involves huge land
areas, a more extensive planning and preparation is involved. Wildlife planting
is cheaper on a per tree computation. But the sheer magnitude of the project
makes it very expensive.</div>Ben Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18280106496061218057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544938746396488958.post-41397366619857848552011-10-24T06:56:00.000-07:002011-10-24T06:56:01.341-07:00Where To Go For Professional Tree Removal<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Many
property owners will wonder why they need a <a href="http://alexandria.premieretreeservices.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">professional Alexandria, VA, tree service</span></a>. After
all they believe that they can do jobs like trimming and pruning of trees on
their own and they may think that they can do it cheaper.<br />
<br />
Well there are many reasons why a <a href="http://premieretreeservices.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">professional tree service</span></a>
can do the job right the first time and save a property owner a lot of money.
To be honest a lot of property owners will save both time and money by using
professionals. Life will be easier and their property will look a lot better
because they went with the pros.<br />
<br />
For example you can actually spread tree killing pests and funguses by trimming
or pruning a tree at the wrong time of the year. Many property owners don’t
realize this and end up spreading something that will harm their trees. You can
also spread such pests by not disposing of waste from such jobs properly. <br />
<br />
Then there’s safety, pruning and trimming trees can be a very dangerous
activity. Hundreds of people are injured doing it each year. The potential
hazards include falling from the tree, falling branches and improper use of
dangerous tools including chainsaws. Many people end up in the hospital because
they don’t know how to use the equipment.<br />
<br />
An added concern is property damage if falling limbs land on a neighbor’s car
the property owner will be liable for that damage. He or she can also be liable
for damage to roofs, power lines, and buildings. To make matters worse
insurance will probably not pay for such damage. <br />
<br />
Amateur tree services can be just as bad or worse than doing it yourself.
Hiring that guy who knocks on the door, your neighbor’s kid or that guy hanging
around in the Lowe’s parking lot to trim your trees could save you money. It
could also cost a fortune because chances are that character is not bonded or
insured. Any damage he does will be your fault and you will have to pay for it.<br />
<br />
To make matters worse he could make your trees look worse. Money paid out to
amateur tree services is often money wasted. Hiring a professional service that
is properly licensed, bonded and insured will save you money in the long run.
More importantly an <a href="http://alexandria.premieretreeservices.com/experience_matters.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Alexandria, VA, tree service</span></a><a href="http://alexandria.premieretreeservices.com/experience_matters.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"> </span></a>will employ professional
arborists that can spot other problems with your trees. That can save you even

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One emergency that most home and property owners
are not prepared for is a tree that needs to be removed. Whether it is dead,
dying, leaning over or fallen over a big tree that needs to be removed can be a
real problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fortunately<a href="http://sunnyvale.premieretreeservices.com/tree_removal.html" target="_blank"> professional tree removal is available in Sunnyvale, CA</a> and
it is available 24 hours a day seven days a week. Professionals can come out to
your home and start removing a downed tree as soon as you notice it. They can
get the trunk and even the stump out of your yard and clear away all the
debris.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In many cases the cost of their service can even
be covered by your home or property owner’s insurance. If you want your
insurance to cover the cost you will need to hire a <a href="http://sunnyvale.premieretreeservices.com/" target="_blank">professional
Sunnyvale tree service</a> that is licensed, bonded and insured. Most
insurance companies will not reimburse you for work you do yourself or for work
done by an amateur you hire off the street. They will only cover the cost of a
professional that gives you an estimate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fortunately most <a href="http://www.premieretreeservices.com/" target="_blank">professional tree
services</a> will give you a free estimate before they begin work. That means
you will know how much it costs and you can even call your insurance company
and see if it will pay before you authorize any work. You will be able to get the
emergency tree removal you need.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Professional tree disposal is one less problem
that you will have to deal with or worry about in an emergency. Instead of
wondering what you’re going to do you can have the dead tree cut down and
hauled away. That way you can begin dealing with other more important problems
such as damage to your house. You’ll be able to begin clean up and repair
efforts faster and have them over sooner.</div>

When you look at the benefits that trees provide you, you
will see that money spent to keep them healthy and alive is money well
spent. </span></span></div>

Let’s
just take a look at just a few of the things that trees do for home and
property owners just before you think of <a href="http://santaclara.premieretreeservices.com/tree_removal.html">removing your trees</a>. Some of them just might surprise you. The benefits
that trees can provide you include:</div>
</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

many species of tree provide color including greenery which is
important. The color makes property more attractive and more valuable.</span></li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Character.
Trees often add character to a property or a lot. Without them it would
be nothing but dirt and rock. Older neighborhoods in particular are
often defined by trees.</span></li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Foliage including trees, brushes and shrubs prevent erosion and stop flooding. This can keep your land from washing away. </span></li>

and palms also provide a place for animals including squirrels and song
birds to live. Many people couldn’t imagine living without these
critters.</span></li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Fruit
many kinds of tree including peaches, palms, orange, apples, elderberry
etc. provide tasty fruits that people love to eat. This is organic food
that is better for us and in many parts of the country people generate
extra cash by selling it by the roadside.</span></li>

for kids to play, who doesn’t have fond memories of that tree house dad
built when they were a kid. Imagine your kids not having trees to climb
and play in.</span></li>

property value. Properties that have trees on them are worth more.
People pay a premium to live in older established neighborhoods with
large trees.</span></li>

sense of place many equate trees with an established neighborhood and a
historic community. Quite a few people will not live in areas without
trees.</span></li>

to tenants. Many people will be more likely to rent a home or a
commercial property with trees on the grounds. Some people will not rent
where there are no trees.</span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">So
you’ve bought this nice house in Palo Alto, CA, and one of your
projects is to redesign its old garden at the back. But when you check
the area, what you see are unwanted tenants – trees and shrub planted
there by the previous owner to lend a look of privacy to the property.
But what could have been part of a beautiful landscaping many years ago
is now an eyesore that needs to be eliminated. </span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The
solution? <a href="http://premieretreeservices.com/">Cut the trees and shrub</a>. It’s as simple as that. Or is it?
The cutting part is simple, yes. You only need a chainsaw for that. But
what about the stumps? Good if these are young stumps. But we’re talking
here of stumps of old trees. They don’t give in that easily, especially
to you who have zero knowledge about proper stump removal. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To save time and resources, and yourself from possible injury, you need the experts to do the job for you.

You may not be the one to do the dirty work in your backyard, but it’s
your project and you should at least know what’s going on. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The
first thing to do is cut down the shrub or tree down to the stump. The
tree-cutting phase has its own series of steps to follow, especially if
it’s a huge tree. After the tree has been cut, you are now left with the
stump. The next thing to do is to dig away the soil immediately
surrounding the stump, leaving the stump exposed below the surface. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Now
that a good part of the stump below the surface is exposed, you will
now chip away the stump with the use of a stump grinding machine. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Grinding is usually done as deep as ten inches below the surface. That’s
a good clearance for you to lay your new lawn without having to worry
about the stump sticking out. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">You
might be asking about the roots. What will happen to them? You don’t
have to worry about the roots. They will rot over time. Besides, they
are too deep down in the soil to be seen sticking out in the surface.
But if you really insist that the roots must have to taken out as well,
then prepare to have half of your garden excavated. Of course, you don’t
need this unnecessary headache.</span></div>Ben Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18280106496061218057noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544938746396488958.post-50681095851435277432011-10-12T08:47:00.000-07:002011-10-12T08:47:20.494-07:00Getting Rid Of A Tree In Your Back Yard?<h2>
Why You Should Not Attempt To Remove Trees On Your Own</h2>

Removing a tree is not as simple as it sounds. There are a number of important considerations to take into account – from permits to safety precautions. Trees are protected by laws and ordinances, especially if they are a number of years old. Pulling down a tree is also a dangerous task, so you need to follow safety measures to protect yourself and the people and properties around you.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First thing you do is to determine if you can handle the job by yourself. If it’s a big and there are properties nearby, you must hire the services of people who are experts in the field. There are a number of companies in Atlanta that can help you. You can look for <a href="http://atlanta.premieretreeservices.com/tree_removal.html">tree removal Atlanta</a> groups in the Internet and choose one that suits your needs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But with all the tree removal companies existing today, choosing one might prove difficult for you, especially if you are too busy to do a research. If this is the case, you can hire a company that can assist your concerns. You can seek assistance from <a href="http://premieretreeservices.com/">Premiere Tree Services</a>, who will give you a list of companies to remove your tree. </div>

The importance of hiring Premiere Tree Services is that they can help you look a for tree service company that suits your location and the kind of tree you want removed. The three service companies in their list have years of experience behind them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The advantage of hiring experts to remove your tree is that it spares you the whole trouble. They take care of everything, from conducting an ocular survey of your place to <a href="http://atlanta.premieretreeservices.com/land_clearing.html">landscaping</a> the area after the job is done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But most important of all, you can be assured of your safety and that of your neighbors if you hire the services of experts. Removing a tree is a complicated job. A person who is not trained for it should not attempt it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Besides, there are some laws and ordinances that prevent you from cutting trees whenever you like. Companies like Premiere Tree Services knows what are the laws that regulate the removal of trees in Atlanta. So that will be one more hassle off your back.</div>Ben Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18280106496061218057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544938746396488958.post-32615898286953838982011-10-10T12:29:00.000-07:002011-10-10T12:29:02.148-07:00Why Bother Calling Tree Services Professionals<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold;">Do You Really Need <a href="http://www.premieretreeservices.com/">Professional Tree Removal</a>?</span><br />

Many people will ask the question do I really need to use a professional tree service to remove a tree in Poughkeepsie, NY?

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The reason for this quite obvious: the tree could easily fall on the house, the road or the power lines and do thousands or tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of damages. If it fell on the road it could destroy or damage a car and the people in it. If it fell on a house it could destroy the roof, the skylights or the chimney. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They can completely get rid of the tree and make sure the trunk has been hauled away. The city and most garbage companies will not haul dead trees away. A service will so you can get that mess out of your yard as quickly as possible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More importantly a professional company will ensure that the entire tree is removed. They can grind down the stump so that there will be nothing left and you can plant another tree or other plants where the stump was. You never have to know that ugly old elm was there in the first place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A <a href="http://premieretreeservices.com/">reputable tree service</a> will advertise online and in the phone book. They will not go door to door looking for business or hang around the Home Depot parking lot looking for work. That guy with the old truck who bangs on your door or grabs you at the parking lot maybe cheap but guess what if he does any damage by improperly downing a tree guess who will be liable? You are that’s who. He’ll probably jump in the truck and drive away leaving you to clean up the mess and pay the bills.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A professional tree service is bonded and insured so that any damage caused will be paid for. More likely they aren’t likely to cause any damage in <a href="http://www.treeservicesoakland.com/tree_removal.html">Oakland tree removal</a> because they are professionals. </span></div>Ben Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18280106496061218057noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544938746396488958.post-18566731584503375922011-10-04T08:21:00.000-07:002011-10-04T08:21:59.315-07:00Do You Really Need Professional Tree Removal?<br />

to remove a tree in Malibu? After all most of us do know you how to use
chainsaws or could figure out how to use one fairly quickly. Well the
answer to this question yes you should use professionals to cut down a
tree particularly if it is a big tree or close to a house, power lines
or the street.</span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The
reason for this quite obvious: the tree could easily fall on the house,
the road or the power lines and do thousands or tens of thousands of
dollars’ worth of damages. If it fell on the road it could destroy or
damage a car and the people in it. If it fell on a house it could
destroy the roof, the skylights or the chimney. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://malibu.premieretreeservices.com/">professional tree service Malibu</a> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">has special equipment that can be used to keep the tree from falling on
people roads or buildings. They can make sure that the job is done in
such a way that nobody gets hurt and no property is damaged. They can
also make sure the trunk is hauled away and disposed of properly.
Landfills in Los Angeles County will not take wood, a tree service knows
where to get rid of it. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://malibu.premieretreeservices.com/tree_removal.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b>Tree removal in </b></span><b>Malibu</b></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">is
not something you should do yourself. You should always let the experts

important of all done safely. </span></span>Ben Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18280106496061218057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544938746396488958.post-66406563758407771472011-09-12T08:11:00.000-07:002011-09-12T08:13:46.762-07:00Why Property Owners Need Professional Tree Removal and Tree Services<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Most property owners know
that they need <a href="http://trees360.blogspot.com/2011/09/professional-tree-service-can-help.html">professional help</a> to do a lot of things including plumbing,
electrical wiring and roof repair. Yet they believe that they can remove trees
and perform tree maintenance chores including pruning themselves.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Cutting down and getting
rid of a dead, dying or unwanted tree is actually a complex and dangerous chore
that can take several hours. It can also require special skills and equipment
that most people do not have. Can you cut down a tree in such a way so that it
will not fall upon a house, a car, a building, the sidewalk, the street or the
power lines? Something to remember is that the property owner will be liable
for any damage or injuries caused by a falling tree.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Even if you can bring the
tree down safely, do you know how to get rid of it? Most trash disposal
companies do not haul dead wood off? You will have to find a pro to do that. Do
you know how to remove the stump without tearing up the yard?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

be done safely. Do you have the proper tools and know how to use them safely.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Something to remember that
any damage done by a falling limb is your responsibility. You will be liable

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Many people drive or walk
by homes and businesses and see great looking trees and wonder what the secret
is. The “secret” is an obvious one the owner of that property which you admire
so much probably uses a <a href="http://trees360.blogspot.com/2011/08/keeping-your-trees-healthy-and-looking.html">professional tree service</a>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Many people assume that they
can just hire that guy who knocks on your door or that character hanging out in
the Home Depot parking lot to work on your trees. Nothing could be further from
the truth, trees are complex living organisms that need <a href="http://trees360.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-should-use-licensed-professional.html">professional care from experts</a>. Those experts aren’t driving around your neighborhood in a junky old
truck or hanging around in the Lowe’s parking lot.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Professional <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_552434658">
in </a><a href="http://indianapolis.premieretreeservices.com/">tree services in Indianapolis </a></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><a href="http://indianapolis.premieretreeservices.com/"> </a>are just like any other professionals you have to
call them. They can come out and give you free estimate after looking over your
trees. That means you know how much it is going to cost and what it will
entail.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Many people end up calling
the pros after hiring those amateurs or some neighborhood kid to work on the
trees. After the trees are messed up or harmed they call an expert for help.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Why not do it right the
first time by hiring the experts with the proper equipment and knowledge from
the beginning. That way you’ll know that work like<a href="http://seattle.premieretreeservices.com/"> trimming trees</a> has been done
right from the beginning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Another advantage to using
the pros is that they can spot problems like fungal infections and insect
infestations before they harm your trees. That can save you thousands or even
tens of thousands of dollars because you will not have to pay for tree removal
and stump grinding or new trees to replace those removed. </span></div>
