Municipal Tree Care Services
Removal of dead or hazardous trees and brush from public streets, parks and other property lots is a concern for each community. Power lines must be kept clear of any trees or branches, young trees must be pruned to direct proper growth and development, bush and shrubs must be trimmed or removed so that they do not obstruct views. High Peaks Tree Service is an experienced and knowledgeable tree care service company that can help you meet these safety requirements.

Tree Removal
Tree removal is not a service that we like to emphasize, but it is a very necessary part of arboriculture and one that Bartlett executes professionally. Removals are performed to eliminate dead and dying trees and those that have become hazardous and cannot be mitigated by other accepted cultural practices. Removals are also done to eliminate competition so the remaining plants have more light and space to develop. Trees are also removed to allow for new construction, building additions, and to provide clearances with those structures.
Tree removal is the most hazardous aspect of arboriculture. Often, tree workers must remove trees growing in confined spaces near corporate offices, utility lines, and other sensitive areas. Tree removal requires considerable experience and training to successfully perform this task.
At Lawnborne, we are highly trained in the art and science of tree removal. Our goal in all of our tree work operations is to provide thorough clean up of debris and cause minimal impact to surrounding vegetation.
Tree Trimming or Prunning
On mature trees, pruning is required to remove dead and dying branches to maintain plant health and safety. This pruning type is referred to as cleaning. Research has now documented that thinning, the removal of live branches to reduce density, significantly reduces wind resistance and subsequent storm damage. Thinning should only be done on trees where the crown is "too dense" and Lawnborne has training and experience to evaluate this attribute. Thinning should be concentrated on the outer portions of the canopy, leaving as many branches on the interior crown as possible. In some instances, the crown or individual branches require reduction in length to improve the form and shape of the plant, to eliminate interference with objects and structures, and to compensate for structural weaknesses. Lower branches may require pruning for similar reasons. This process, known as raising, also can be used to increase the amount of light for turf grass and ground covers beneath the crown of a tree. We are trained to evaluate the condition of your trees and determine the type(s) of pruning required to balance your goals and those of managing plant health and safety on your commercial property.
Young Trees
One aspect of pruning that is most frequently overlooked by property managers is structural pruning of young trees. Trees evolved in forests where they tend to grow straight and lose lower branches due to competition for light. When planted in full sun in the commercial landscape, many species tend to develop multiple stems/leaders that are more prone to failure. Lower branches tend to grow at the same rate as the terminal leader that results in weak attachments that also are likely to fail later in the life of the plant. So pruning trees when they are young and growing quickly is critical to ensuring a strong framework for future growth. This pruning focuses on maintaining a single dominant stem unless multiple stem "clumps" are specifically desired. Branches are pruned so their size remains proportional to the stem diameter at their point of attachment. As trees grow, some branches are removed to ensure adequate spacing between permanent scaffold limbs. The shape of the tree is maintained to provide a natural open grown form typical of the species.
Cabling and Bracing
Cables and brace rods are supplemental structural supports intended to reduce the risk of failure of weak branches and multiple stems. Cables generally consist of extra high strength steel and are attached to bolts installed in the upper crown of a tree. They are intended to limit the movement of the supported branches so they are less likely to fail during storms. Braces are thread rod that are installed through unions of weak branches and multiple stems to provide more rigid support from torsional (twisting) forces that can occur in violent weather. Bartlett Tree Experts developed cabling and bracing procedures in the early twentieth century that are the industry standards and still used today.
Tree management programs on all properties should be proactive rather than reactive with treatments being applied preventively to maintain plant health rather than remedial once decline begins. Managers or owners of commercial properties which have high pedestrian traffic and where there is a need to ensure public safety should have their trees inspected regularly for structural defects, including cracks, split crotches, decay and other problems to prevent failures that could lead to personal injury or property damage. Supplemental structural support systems should only be installed based on a thorough inspection and evaluation of tree structure by our certified arborists Materials and techniques must comply with published industry standards (American National Standards Institute A-300 Standards). If trees have lightning protection systems, the conductor must be attached to any support cables in the crown.
Fun Facts About Trees
• Trees keep our air supply fresh by absorbing carbon dioxide
and producing oxygen.
• In one year, an acre of trees can absorb as much
carbon as is produced by a car driven up to 8700 miles.
• Trees provide shade and shelter, reducing yearly heating
and cooling costs by 2.1 billion dollars.
• Trees lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves.
• The average tree in metropolitan area survives only about 8 years!
• A tree does not reach its most productive stage of carbon
storage for about 10 years.
•Trees cut down noise pollution by acting as sound barriers.
•Tree roots stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
• Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds.
• Trees provide protection from downward fall of rain, sleet, and hail as well as reduce storm run-off and the possibility of flooding,
• Trees provide food and shelter for wildlife.
•Trees located along streets act as a glare and reflection control.
• The death of one 70-year old tree would return over three tons of carbon to the atmosphere.
Tree Biology
•Trees are the longest living organisms on earth.
•Trees and other plants make their food through a process called p hotosynthesis.
• The inside of a tree is made of cork, phloem, cambium, and xylem.
•The xylem of a tree carries water from the roots to the leaves.
T rees and the Environment
• Trees renew our air supply by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.
•The amount of oxygen produced by an acre of trees per year equals the amount consumed by 18 people annually. One tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year.
•One acre of trees removes up to 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide each year.
•Shade trees can make buildings up to 20 degrees cooler in the summer.
• Trees lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves.
• Tree roots stabilize soil and prevent erosion.
• Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water, as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds.
• The cottonwood tree seed is the seed that stays in flight the longest. The tiny seed is surrounded by ultra-light, white fluff hairs that can carry it on the air for several days.
Record-setting Trees
•One of the tallest soft wood trees is the General Sherman, a giant redwood sequoia of California. General Sherman is about 275 ft or 84 m high with a girth of 25 ft or 8 m.
• The 236 ft or 72 m high Ada Tree of Australia has a 50 ft or 15.4 m girth and a root system that takes up more than an acre.
• The world's tallest tree is a coast redwood in California, measuring more than 360 ft or 110 m.
• The world's oldest trees are 4,600 year old Bristlecone pines in the USA.
Trees and Science
• Dendrochronology is the science of calculating a tree's age by its rings.
• Tree rings provide precise information about environmental events, including volcanic eruptions.
• A mature birch tree can produce up to 1 million seeds per year.
• Moon trees were grown from seeds taken to the moon by Stuart Roosa, Command Module pilot of the Apollo 14 mission of January 31, 1971. The effort included 400-500 seeds, which orbited the moon on the first few days of February 1971. NASA and the USFS wanted to see if being in space and in the moon's orbit would cause the seeds to grow differently than other seeds.
