Tree Preservation During Home Construction Projects

3/12/2019

Protecting your trees during home construction projects

Tree preservation is an essential step in preparing for a home construction project.

Building and remodeling activities can have a significant impact on the landscape and, without proper care, trees can suffer serious damage. In some cases, construction work can even kill strong and healthy specimens or lead to the need for tree removal.

Fortunately, with a bit of planning – and tree preservation assistance from an experienced local arborist – these outcomes are avoidable.

Schedule a Professional Risk Assessment

Before breaking ground on your building project, contact a local certified arborist for a professional tree risk assessment.

During this evaluation, the arborist will walk around your property and evaluate every tree in light of your upcoming construction work. Depending upon their placement and health, some specimens may need to be transplanted or removed.

Prepare for the Home Construction Project

Trees that will remain in place during home construction may need some attention before the work begins. Strong, healthy specimens are much more likely to get through the project without suffering any damage.

To that end, your certified arborist may recommend certain tree preservation steps -- including pruning, soil testing and fertilization -- to ensure optimal health.

Use Barriers for Tree Preservation During Construction

Protecting the ground area within the dripline of every specimen is essential during a home construction project. If the builders aren’t careful to avoid this critical root zone, damage is the likely result.

For that reason, your certified arborist may install temporary barriers around the root zones of trees that are near the building project site. In addition, your arborist may advise asking the builder to sign a landscape protection contract as extra assurance that these areas will remain completely off-limits during construction.

Schedule an After-Construction Assessment

Putting all of these safeguards in place greatly lessens the chance of landscape construction damage, but it could still occur. Accidents happen, and some species are more susceptible to suffering problems as a result of nearby building work.

Some issues are obvious, but experienced arborists can spot early signs of stress that the untrained eye is likely to miss. Left untreated, disease or pest infestation can easily take hold, and once-healthy specimens can suffer an early demise. Because of this, scheduling an after-construction evaluation with a certified arborist is absolutely crucial.

If you’re planning a home construction or renovation project and you live in the greater Salt Lake City area, the certified arborists at Rivendell Tree Experts can assist with your tree preservation needs. We can handle the initial risk assessment, the after-construction evaluation and everything in-between.

With Rivendell Tree Experts, home construction doesn’t have to wreak havoc on your northern Utah landscape. For more information on our comprehensive services, or to schedule a free consultation to discuss tree preservation, contact our Lehi office today.

4 Ways to Save Money on Tree Removal

1/8/2019

Do you need tree removal? If one of your trees is dead, unhealthy or hazardous, removing it now could be the right solution – but whether the service fits into your budget plans may be another story.

Here at Rivendell Tree Experts, we know that everyone has to work within a budget. For top-notch service at a more affordable cost, try our pro tips.

No. 1: Get an Expert Opinion

How do you know you really need tree removal? Sometimes, a specimen that looks to be on its last legs could just need some attention.

Schedule an assessment with a certified arborist before making any decisions. If you’re lucky, removing a few branches or providing an appropriate insect or disease treatment may save you from needing removal – and, as a result, reduce your costs.

No. 2: Schedule Tree Removal in the Off-Season

When services are in high demand, prices tend to be higher. Like other professionals, certified arborists don’t typically reduce their rates when they’re incredibly busy.

If possible, plan your removal during the off-season, when business is a little slower. This varies depending upon where you live, but generally speaking, aim to avoid spring, summer and the early part of fall.

No. 3: Do Part of the Work Yourself

The more services a company provides, the more you’ll end up paying – that’s true for every business, not just for certified arborists.

That said, you might be able to cut the costs of tree removal if you take on some of the less specialized parts of the job. Ask ahead of time – you may be able to save money by handling the cleanup and woodcutting yourself.

No. 4: Consider Regular Certified Arborist Services

The best way to save money on tree removal is to avoid needing the service in the first place.

Keep your trees healthy with seasonal attention from a certified arborist, and you’ll be much less likely of facing another removal in the future. Periodic assessments, along with regular pruning, trimming and soil care, go a long way – and routine tree care services cost less than removal.

How NOT to Save on Tree Removal

You might be tempted to remove the tree yourself – how hard can it be? Just watch a few videos, and you’ll be good to go!

Actually, that’s not a smart way to save money. The work is dangerous, particularly for anyone who doesn’t have specialized training. Make a wrong move, and you could cause significant property damage or, worse, you could seriously injure yourself or someone else.

Stay safe on the ground and hire a local certified arborist instead. For professional tree removal in the greater Salt Lake City area, turn to Rivendell Tree Experts.

A local industry leader, Rivendell Tree Experts provides a range of residential and commercial tree care services. Our certified arborists only recommend practical, cost-effective solutions – and with us, you can count on quality workmanship and affordable pricing.

How to Handle a Utah Tree Emergency

12/9/2018

0 Comments

In the event of a tree emergency on your private property, do you know what to do? Chances are, you probably haven’t given much thought to a plan of action if you happen upon a downed trunk, fallen branch or another potentially hazardous situation.

Time is of the essence when it comes to any tree emergency. The faster you act, the easier it is to contain the damage. Below, we explain how to handle the most common issues you may encounter as a property owner.

If a Tree or Branch Is Near a Utility Line…

Don’t go anywhere near the downed trunk or branch, as the power line presents a clear danger of injury. Keep children, pets and onlookers well away from the area, and contact your local utility company for assistance.

If a Tree or Large Branch Is on the Ground…

Contact a local certified arborist if you experience this type of emergency. An arborist can safely remove the obstruction without damaging your property. If the downed trunk or branch itself caused property damage, call your insurance agent.

If Snow or Ice Bends a Branch…

Keep everyone from walking or standing underneath the hazardous branch, then wait for the springtime thaw. The limb may return to its original state on its own but, if it doesn’t, call on a local certified arborist.

If the Soil Surrounding a Tree Is Flooded…

Check to see if the trunk is leaning or if the soil and grass around the roots have lifted. In either case, contact a certified arborist for an immediate safety assessment. Continue to monitor the situation, as symptoms may not appear for a year or more.

If a Contaminant Spill Occurs Close to a Tree…

When a faulty container or equipment malfunction dumps pesticide, fuel or any other potentially hazardous substance, the soil may become contaminated. To deal with this tree emergency, call a local certified arborist.

If a Car Crashes into a Tree…

Get the license plate number, contact information and insurance details of the driver, if possible, and document the event with photographs. Then, contact a certified arborist to evaluate and treat the damage caused by this situation.

As you can see, you’ll need to call on an arborist for expert help with most types of hazardous events. And, the best time to find a certified arborist with expertise in emergency tree care is before you come upon a problem.

If you live in northern Utah, you can trust all of your tree care to the team at Rivendell Tree Experts. Our certified arborists have extensive skill, training and experience dealing with hazardous situations – and our professional tree emergency service comes at an affordable price.

Tree Preservation Techniques: Cabling and Bracing

11/15/2018

0 Comments

When trees have poor structural growth, cabling and bracing – two effective tree preservation techniques – can stave off the need for removal.

Arborists install flexible, high-strength steel cables and rigid bracing rods to support weak branches, limit excessive limb motion and reduce structural stress. Proper cabling and bracing works to provide the support needed to encourage strong growth and help trees stand firm in severe weather conditions.

Tree preservation using cables and braces can improve the structural integrity of many types of at-risk specimens. Below are five growth issues that can be addressed through cabling and bracing.

U-Shaped Branches

When a trunk grows to develop a pronounced “U” shape, the weight of the canopy is often enough to cause the branches to split and break. And, with severe weather, damage is more likely. To redistribute the weight load and prevent limb breakage, arborists often recommend cabling and bracing.

Split Trunks

If storm-related damage or structural stress creates a vertical trunk crack, installing cables and braces can help prevent failure and encourage proper structural growth. However, if you don’t pursue preservation early enough, the crack may not heal and removal may be the only course of action.

Leaning Trees

A slight natural lean is usually not a problem, but when the trunk is leaning at a more pronounced angle, arborists may suggest preservation via cabling and bracing. The same goes for a trunk that develops a sudden lean after a severe weather event, though some specimens may require removal.

Uprooted Specimens

Most of the time, when a tree is completely uprooted during a severe storm, arborists recommend removal. In some cases, however, the trunk can be repositioned and held in place with cables and braces until the root system is strong enough to provide sufficient trunk support.

Multiple Trunks

Often, trees that have more than one trunk fail due to the unbalanced weight load the limbs must carry. To provide support, encourage healthy structural growth and prevent failure, arborists may advise cabling and bracing.

Should You Consider Tree Preservation?

Cabling and bracing are effective tree preservation techniques, but sometimes removal is the only option. Uprooted trees and those with a significant lean or split can’t always be saved with cables and braces, nor can some specimens with major cracks covering the main trunk.

For expert advice on whether tree preservation is the right solution for the at-risk specimens on your northern Utah property, call on Rivendell Tree Experts. Our certified arborists have the training, knowledge and expertise to determine when installing cables and braces is the right approach – and if it is, our team can complete the job properly, at an affordable price.

Diagnosing Tree Disease: 4 Warning Signs of a Problem

10/31/2018

2 Comments

Tree disease can devastate your landscape but, if you catch the problem early on, you stand a much better chance of stopping the bacterial, viral or fungal infection from damaging or killing off your much-loved trees.

If you’re not sure how to spot a diseased tree, you’re not alone. We suggest you take a close look at your trees whenever you’re working in the yard. Scan the leaves, branches and bark for irregularities and, as you perform your inspection, watch for the following warning signs.

If you do notice a problem, contact a Utah certified arborist for help with tree disease treatment.

No. 1: Differences in the Foliage

Look up at the tree canopy. Do you see a difference in the coloration of the foliage or leaves dropping – and it isn’t the right season? Or are any of the leaves sporting holes or malformations?

The state of the foliage is a good indicator of overall health. Early leaf drop, color changes and damaged leaves are all potential signs of tree disease.

No. 2: Dead or Dying Branches

Check for dead branches – if you see any limbs that look dry and lifeless, seek out prompt disease treatment.

Dying branches may also point to a problem, but since decay occurs from the inside out, failing limbs aren’t easy to identify. So, look for other symptoms of decay, including mushroom growth and crumbly wood.

No. 3: Uneven Growth

Has one of your trees developed a significant lean? Or do you notice any branches growing close together?

A lopsided growth pattern can mean tree disease treatment is necessary. And, with poorly-structured limbs, weakening in the branch unions makes disease a more likely problem.

No. 4: Visible Changes in the Bark

When tree disease sets in, the effects can often be seen in the bark.

Bacterial, viral and fungal infections weaken the bark, which results in discolorations. As time goes on, disease can create deep splits and cracks. Cankers, or dead areas of bark on the branches or trunk, are also possible signs of disease.

Which Tree Disease is the Problem?

To the untrained eye, disease can be difficult enough to spot – and with the dozens of diseases that are common in northern Utah, diagnosing the particular problem is even more of a challenge. Guess wrong, and any treatment you try will likely fail. Worse, applying the wrong treatment could even kill the tree.

For that reason, tree disease treatment should be left to a certified arborist, like the team at Rivendell Tree Experts. Our professionals can perform a full assessment to figure out which bacterial, viral or fungal infection is the problem. Once we have a diagnosis, we can provide a range of effective treatment options.

In addition, since healthy trees are better able to resist disease, our certified arborists will provide proactive tips to help prevent future issues on your northern Utah property. For more information on Rivendell Tree Experts, or to schedule a free, no-obligation tree disease treatment consultation, contact our Lehi office today.

Tree Pruning 101: What You Need to Know

9/5/2018

1 Comment

At a basic level, tree pruning involves removing limbs that are dead, damaged or structurally weak. Unlike trimming, which is focused on beauty and aesthetics, pruning is done to improve tree health and reduce the risk of injury or property damage from falling branches.

Regular pruning can help protect your trees from disease and insect infestation, ensuring that they continue to flourish for years to come. However, to get the best results, you need to use the correct techniques and tools

Standard Tree Pruning Methods

Certified arborists typically use one of four basic approaches to pruning:

Cleaning to decrease the chance of dead, dying or diseased branches from falling
Thinning live branches at the crown’s edge to increase sunlight penetration and air movement
Raising to provide vertical clearance and keep branches from blocking buildings, signs and vistas
Reducing to reduce height and/or spread for utility line clearance or clear vegetation from affecting nearby structures

Harmful Tree Pruning Practices

Poor pruning practices can damage trees, stunting their growth. The following techniques are not recommended:

Topping to reduce size by cutting the trunk and upper main branches down to stubs
Lion’s tailing to thin the interior, leaving foliage only at the top of the crown
Rooster tailing to thin out palm branches for protection from heavy wind

Tools for Proper Tree Pruning

When pruning, you need to use the right tools.

Hand pruners are appropriate for cutting limbs that are less than an inch wide. Branches that are roughly two inches in diameter can be cut with either lopping shears or a pole pruner. Larger limbs require pruning saws.

Whichever tool you end up using, make sure it’s sharp. And if you’re pruning diseased limbs, sanitize the blade between cuts.

Tree Pruning Tips from the Pros

Before pruning, the tree species must be properly identified. While you can technically prune year-round, tree experts recommend strategic timing, based upon the growth response of the particular species. Pruning during dormancy, in the winter, is often best – but that isn’t always the case.

As you prune, take care to make sharp, clean cuts. Stick close to the buds, leaving just enough space above to prevent die back. In addition, make your cuts at the buds that are aimed in the direction you want the branches to grow -- doing so helps create a naturally beautiful and shapely appearance as the tree matures.

When pruning, tree experts caution against removing more than 25 percent of the branches in any single year. Prune away too many limbs, and plant stress can lead to detrimental effects.

Tree pruning can be dangerous work, and limbs shouldn’t be removed without careful consideration. For those reasons, getting a local certified arborist to take on the task is often the best course of action.

If you live in the greater Salt Lake or Utah County area, the professionals at Rivendell Tree Experts have the skill and expertise to properly prune trees so that they’ll continue to grow healthy, strong and beautiful.

How Much Does Tree Removal Cost?

8/10/2018

2 Comments

Tree removal may be the best option if one of yours has to go – although most homeowners consider this action only as a last resort.

Here at Rivendell Tree Experts, we frequently receive inquiries from homeowners and businesses asking about the costs of our services. Although we can’t tell you exactly how much to budget for tree removal until we can see the situation for ourselves, we can give you a basic idea of what to expect.

Typical Costs for Tree Removal

The cost for removal depends largely on height, although girth, species, drag distance and nearby targets are also factored in.

The price can range wildly, and although most homeowners can expect to pay a few hundred dollars, it's possible for the price to be much higher or lower, depending on your individual situation. We recommend getting a price quote before beginning work, so that you don't have a surprise when the bill comes due.

How Tree Removal Cost is Determined

When it comes to the total cost of removal, height isn’t the only consideration. The price is also based upon these additional factors:

Diameter: Thick specimens take longer to remove than those with thin trunks. So, as a general rule, the wider the trunk, the higher the cost of removal.
Condition: Removing a tree that’s dead, leaning or significantly decayed can be costlier, as the work can be more dangerous and require the use of extra safety equipment.
Location: Trees situated near power lines, buildings and other obstructions – and those that are difficult to access – are more complicated to remove, so the price is higher.

Extra Tree Services

When you hire a professional for tree removal, extra services usually come at an added cost. Unless otherwise stated, you can expect to pay a separate fee for stump removal and log splitting. Limb chipping and removal may or may not be included, so make sure to ask.

How to Avoid Tree Removal in the Future

If you want the rest of your trees to remain in good shape for many years to come, you may want to consider additional services. Proper pruning, trimming and fertilization can go a long way toward protecting healthy specimens from disease, pest infestation and the effects of harsh weather. Arborists charge extra for these services, of course, but you may pay a lower price if you have the work done along with your tree removal.

Do you suspect that one of your trees might need to be removed? For a free, no-obligation consultation and service estimate in the greater Salt Lake and Utah county region, turn to Rivendell Tree Experts.

Our team of certified arborists has the training and expertise to nurse many ailing trees back to health. If it cannot be saved, however, we also have the skills for safe and efficient removal.

Our focus is on providing quality workmanship, and we only recommend cost-effective, practical services.

When Should You Spray Trees for Insects and Infection?

7/5/2018

0 Comments

Should you spray trees right away when you notice a problem? Whether it’s fungus, blight or insects, you want to ward off any harmful conditions that could take down an otherwise healthy tree on your property. But it’s critical to treat these problems correctly.

You might do more damage if you spray trees unnecessarily or if you spray trees too long after the infection has taken hold. What guidelines should you follow?

Prevention Is Key to Saving Your Trees

Many tree diseases are prevented through thorough watering and proper fertilization. You should also take care not to damage tree roots when mowing near their bases. Keep a close eye on all trees on your property and inspect them regularly. When you know what a healthy tree looks like, it’s easier to spot a problem.

Know the Signs

The signs of disease and infestation vary depending on the condition and the type of tree, but here are problematic symptoms to watch for:

Leaves that fall much earlier than normal
Leaves with gray, brown or green spots
Leaves that turn pale
Leaves that are contorted
Insect exit holes in tree branches or trunk
Sawdust around base of the tree

The moment you notice your tree is sick, given its symptoms, it’s time to explore the right treatment.

Get Advice from Your Arborist

A range of fungicides and insecticides could help your tree defeat the outside threat. It’s best to start by getting a proper diagnosis from an arborist. You should know what disease is affecting the tree before you unleash a chemical spray. General pesticide sprays may not eradicate the problem, and can expose your landscape to harsh chemicals for no reason.

Second, make sure you time the treatment correctly. A professional arborist helps by identifying the stage of the disease. Many tree diseases or infestations must be treated within a certain window of time, or else the chemical intervention will not work.

On the other hand, your tree might need a series of sprays in order to fully treat the problem. Your arborist will be able to help you select the right product.

Don’t Make Amateur Mistakes

Trees that are neglected can develop diseases and infestations. But trees that are attended to the wrong way are also at risk.

For example, incorrect pruning is one of the top reasons trees become vulnerable to disease. When you lop off a branch in the wrong direction, at the wrong angle or in the wrong spot, you can do more harm than good. It’s good to want your trees to flourish, but without the proper guidance, you could unwittingly expose them to unforeseen danger.

When you’re trying to prune or spray trees on your property, do so in a productive way, with the help of our team: Rivendell Tree Experts. With years of experience, certified training and a love for healthy trees, we’re the right people to call when yours need help.

4 Signs It's Time to Call an Arborist

5/31/2018

1 Comment

You need to call an arborist anytime there is a clear emergency involving tree damage, especially if it may involve your home or car. But an emergency isn't the only scenario that warrants a professional's attention. Many seemingly mundane situations can quickly turn precarious if they aren't managed by an arborist.

Below are four instances where it’s helpful to call an arborist at Rivendell Tree Experts.

When There’s Storm Damage

After a big storm, maybe feel thankful that no trees fell on your home. But then, the cleanup begins. Before you get out the chainsaw, think about your trees: Do you know the best way to prune and trim them following significant damage?

If storm damage pruning isn’t handled by a pro, you could wind up with a sick tree. Tree damage that isn’t resolved correctly through pruning and treatment can lead to decay and future weakness. It’s not worth it to try to DIY — you could put your tree at risk. Call us instead.

When Branches Look Like They Might Fall

Maybe there hasn’t been a storm, but you’re still feeling nervous about the leaning branches that get lower by the day. If a branch is thicker than 2 inches, it can cause serious damage if it falls. Look at the trees on your property, especially the trees close to your home, shed, car or pool. If you suspect a problem, get peace of mind by calling an arborist.

When Roots Are Exposed

According to experts, 80 percent of tree problems typically begin in the root system. Suddenly exposed or broken tree roots, or mounding near the trunk are signs of trouble. It’s key to catch stability issues early, as this can jeopardize the tree’s health and the safety of nearby people and structures. Schedule a consultation with an arborist as soon as you can.

When You Want to Plant New Trees

Proper planning is the key to healthy trees. Don’t just choose a tree you like the looks of and plant it. Come up with a plan that takes into account the type of soil on your property, the amount of sun your tree will get and the how far away the surrounding trees and structures are.

Not only will you bypass a lot of confusion, you’ll get professional recommendations from an expert that has your property value in mind.

Rivendell Tree Experts is a local arborist team that fully understands the challenges of Utah’s climate. We are here to help you correct tree problems and manage new plantings to deliver the highest value and the most enjoyment for the property owner. Call us today to set up a consultation!

6 Important Reasons to Remove Dead Trees Right Away

5/4/2018

1 Comment

Removing dead trees isn’t a task to put off until next spring — it needs to be done now! It’s OK if you procrastinate on landscaping tasks like weeding your flower beds, but when it comes to large, dead trees, don’t leave anything to chance.

Why should you take action today? Six reasons.

1. Pests Love Dead Trees

Termites and other bugs aren’t the type of wildlife you want in your yard, but it’s exactly what your dead tree will attract. Even though it’s already past rescuing, a dead tree that becomes infested will soon become unstable. There’s also a risk these insects could start feeding on your home next.

2. They’re a Hazard

You don’t want to worry about a tree falling on your home when the wind picks up. Dead trees can’t be trusted, and if one falls on your house, garage or car, it’s not just property damage you have to worry about — there’s the potential it could harm you or a loved one.

3. They’re a Fire Risk

Dry, dead wood can easily catch fire. If you live in an area where wildfires rage, you need to remove dead trees right away. A tree that catches fire near your home could cause property damage and pose a risk to you and your family.

4. It’s Less Expensive to Remove Now

It’s easier to remove a tree that has died but is still standing, and it’s also cheaper. Once it falls on a home, electrical wires or any other property, the process gets harder because workers must minimize further damage to these objects. Save money and just remove it now!

5. Your Other Trees Could Get Sick

Why did it die? This is a question an arborist can answer for you while they are removing it. It’s important to know the reason so you can prevent other trees on your property from experiencing the same fate. Also, the sooner you remove a dead tree, the lower the risk surrounding trees will catch the disease.

6. They Don’t Look Good

Finally, think about how it looks to those passing by. Dead trees detract from your home’s curb appeal. Remove dead trees when you want to spruce up your home’s appearance or if you’re getting ready to sell.

Removing dead trees won’t take up your whole weekend if you depend on Rivendell Tree Experts. We handle the job safely — for your landscape, your home and your family. Get in touch with us when you have a dead tree that needs to be attended to — we’re at your service.
