Just ask a few of our over 240 references TREE AND SHRUB MAINTENANCE Pruning is both functional and esthetic. The functional aspect is just a matter of mechanics and technique, something that can be taught. The esthetic nature is something that you must be born with. This “artistic eye” is something you either have or you don’t. We pride ourselves on our artistic ability at Greenleaf Services LLC. Tree Pruning The benefits of having trees that are attractive in your landscape are obvious. We prune trees to fit the look the customer desires or that the landscape dictates. Much less apparent advantages are: • Less wind resistance = less storm damage • Reduction or elimination of deadwood = greater safety, less mess • Directed growth to where it is best suited = Healthier more efficient plant • Create better air circulation and drying = less rotting of wood work and mold build up on structures Tree Removals Even though our focus is on tree preservation, there are many reasons when their removal is necessary. To name a few: • Dead and dying trees pose a serious threat and should be removed before they fall • Hazard trees (storm damaged etc.) even if they are not dead often require removal to be safe • Trees dominating preferred plants are removed to allow the survival of something more important • Trees in the way of landscape or home construction Greenleaf Services, LLC has the equipment and experienced personnel to tackle any tree removal situation. Stump Removals After a tree is taken down there still is one more potential step to be taken. The trunk of the tree can only be taken down to a few inches above the existing soil grade. This leaves a stump that may be less than esthetically pleasing. In these cases you have two choices, stump grinding or stump excavation. Stump Grinding We use a portable machine that whittles away at a stump.. DEER CONTROL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fencing Discouraging deer or eliminating them from your property can significantly reduce the tick population. Fencing is the best way to keep deer off the property. This lowers the likelihood of being infected with Lyme disease and eliminates damage to valuable ornamental plants from deer browse. Fencing, however, can be daunting and an expensive task. Deer Repellant Applications When fencing your whole property is not a viable option, spraying plants that are susceptible to deer browse with a repellant is the next best thing. Most of the damage to valuable ornamental plants is done in the winter months. Winter long control can be achieved with just one fall application. Deer will visit the property and taste the plants that are usually palatable. They will find them offensive and stop eating them. This may even cause them to stay off the property altogether. For areas that have an extremely high deer population, additional applications may be needed during the growing season as well TICK CONTROL &#
