Summer Has Officially Arrived!

Although Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer for many of us, summer officially arrived June 20 at 6:34pm, and what screams summer more than entertaining family and friends at a backyard barbecue. Mmmmm, can’t you just smell those burgers and hot dogs on the grill, or hear the splashing of kids in the pool? Or maybe you just want to relax with a cold drink and soak up the sun.

So whether you are clearing the yard for the barbecue or for that new home edition, selecting a tree company that is licensed and insured, reliable and dependable, with a good and reputable standing within the community is essential.

There are several issues to consider with with tree maintenance. Structurally sound and healthy trees may need only pruning, crown reduction or to be raised. Although pruning can be done at any time, the best time of year is late winter or early spring. However, dead, damaged or diseased limbs and branches threaten your safety and personal belongings, and should be removed immediately. Additionally, tree limbs growing into other trees can cause both competing trees to end up with dead limbs. An easy fix is to just have the trees limbs trimmed back so all the trees have plenty of room to grow. However, at times trees are planted too close together and there may be a need for some trees to be removed for the sake of saving some trees. A challenge for many homeowners is tree limbs that hinder grass from growing. Grass seldom grows in the shade, needs plenty of sunshine and competes with the trees for nutrients in the soil. Pruning therefore increases the amount of light which fosters growth. Each case is different which is why it is always a good idea to have licensed and insured tree expert and arborist, with proper equipment carefully assess your trees to determine if full tree or limb removal is necessary.

Spring is in the Air!

Hello everyone, 

Spring is here, and this is the time of year when we head out into our yards for fun and festivities whether lawn maintenance, gardening, preparing the grill for the summer run, checking the children's play area equipment, or just getting out to enjoy your yard, don't forget to add a comprehensive tree care assessment to your spring yard checklist! 

There are some things to be mindful of if you have trees, particularly aging trees. As a homeowner you should take a moment to do a scan of the trees on your property or hanging into your property from a neighboring yard. First and foremost look for any obvious leaning or breakage. Thumping a rubber mallet against the trunk can determine if it is hollow — a sure sign of decay. Dying trees are a hazard. If you notice this happening with any of your trees contact us immediately for a free tree assessment which includes a comprehensive overview to asses the tree health. Hamby Tree Experts will thoroughly inspect the canopy of your trees for any signs of dead branches, or obvious signs of leaning. Some defects however are not always visible. With our assessment we check the root system, and look for small cracks and defects that are often difficult  to detect with the untrained eye. In addition, we take into consideration any environmental conditions such as soil, slopes or weather elements such as winds and storms which can further weaken a damaged tree. Any or all of these factors can increase potential hazards and contribute to the overall risk which may lead to tree failure. 

When a hazardous tree or its parts fall it can result in personal injury or major damage to your property or a nearby property. Better to use caution and contact Hamby Tree Experts, a licensed tree professional to diagnose your tree problems and mitigate the risk of tree failure by either safely taking a tree down or pruning rather than having it come down on its own causing major damage to your car, home, or even worse injury to a family member.
