ALL About TREE SERVICES
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.

Tree Pruning / Tree Trimming
A majority of the trees we prune occurs during the dormant season, late fall or winter, is the best time to prune although dead branches can and should be removed at any time. Pruning during the dormant period minimizes sap loss and subsequent stress to the tree. It also minimizes the risk of fungus infection or insect infestation as both fungi and insects are likely to be in dormancy at the same time as the tree. Finally, in the case of deciduous trees, pruning when the leaves are off will give you a better idea of how your pruning will affect the shape of the tree. We can also offer a discount because there will be less brush to haul away.
Why Prune your trees?
. to remove diseased or storm-damaged branches
· to thin the crown to permit new growth and better air circulation
· to reduce the height of a tree
· to remove obstructing lower branches
· to shape a tree for design purposes
. to allow more sunlight for new sod installation (Zoysia, Bermuda, St. Augustine)
Crown Thinning - the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown
Deadwood Removal - removal of dead, dying, diseased, crowded, and weakly attached branches from the crown of the tree.
Elevating Canopy - removal of lower branches from a tree in order to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, and views.
Crown Reduction - reduce the size, height or spread of a tree by pruning back the leaders and branch terminal to the lateral branches.
COMPLETE TREE REMOVAL
We specialize in the removal of the large & hazardous trees. Our teams of skilled climbers have many years of experience in dealing with all types of difficult situations such as limited access areas, near by utility lines, and trees with extreme decay.
There are often situations when removal of a tree becomes necessary:
- Dead, dying, diseased, or hazardous trees
- Obstruction or crowding
- To allow for construction
- replacement by a more suitable specimen
STUMP Grinding
Grinding of stumps helps to facilitate replanting or aesthetics and prevents tripping hazards. We offer 2 types of portable machines, one in which can fit through a 36” opening without the need to be towed by a truck thus limiting the potential for unnecessary lawn damage
HAZARD ASSESSMENT
Lawnborne can routinely inspect your trees for common hazards that may have a direct impact on your safety:
- Proximity to utility lines and other structures
- Broken or partially detached limbs
- Decay or rot
- Potential damage to root structure due to construction or other grading.
Cabling and Bracing
Installing steel cables between major limbs reduces strain and helps support the tree. Cabling also helps reduce stress damage from high winds and excess ice or snow weight.
For large, weak, or split crotches, bracing is used to give direct support and reduce twisting strain on the tree. A metal rod is inserted through the crotch, and two more cables are placed above it.
