Solution to Winter Storm Damage

The snow we received last weekend was only the tip of what we’re supposed to expect this winter season. So if you’re concerned about winter storm damage to your trees, this is the article for you!

Your trees deserve the best type of care. Getting them the proper treatment throughout the seasons will help ensure their longevity and stability during winter, but disastrous storms can sometimes take out even the most durable of trees.

Here at ArborScape, we have a myriad of care treatments to help your trees prepare themselves for any potential winter storm damage, but we’re also able to assist you in the event of emergencies.

Our certified arborists prioritize storm damage and are quick to get out to your property to give a free estimate and to ensure the safety of you, your property, and your trees.

Winter Storm Damage

We’re also licensed and insured for your protection and peace of mind. This means our credentials are up to date and we can utilize the proper equipment to provide safe clearing of any winter storm damage.

We’re also happy to provide copies of our General Liability Insurance and Worker’s Compensation forms. Additionally, our arborists are happy to provide you with their own credentials. This way you can rest easy knowing you and your trees will be taken care of.

With winter comes heavy snow, wind gusts, and even hail. This weather, while an inconvenience on a good day, can bring about disaster.

Dire winter weather can sometimes lead to branches snapping, or even entire root balls being torn out of the ground! Anyone remember what Highlands Ranch looked like after that tornado? 

Whether this leaves a trunk on your car, leaning against your house, took out a fence, or your tree just needs that extra bit of care after a storm, ArborScape is here to help.

However, there are also minuscule damages that may sometimes go unnoticed by the trained eye. Our certified arborists know what to look for, such as holes or cracks in the trunk, as well as splitting bark or damage done to the root system.

Knowing what to look for helps us make an accurate diagnosis so we can give you the best tree treatment ArborScape has to offer. Not only can we assist with the aftermath of winter storm damage, we can assist you in prepping your trees so these types of emergencies won’t happen.

Prevention

There are a few ways to prevent storm damage before it happens, and we’re happy to provide you with these options.

If you’re concerned at all about the condition of your trees, don’t hesitate to give us a call for an assessment. Getting a full assessment by a certified arborist will help you in the long run with all your tree care needs besides storm damage.

Winter storm damage is one of the reasons we take winter pruning seriously here at ArborScape. There are many benefits for your tree to be pruned during the dormant season, but it certainly helps get rid of all the dead branches and any other issues that can cause long-lasting damage.

Another preventative measure we take with your trees is cabling and bolting. This will help your more rickety or leaning trees stay secure during high winds.

Other small things you can do yourself include properly mulching your trees as a safeguard for roots and giving them adequate watering throughout the winter for enhanced support against the weather. 

Because even though we’re likely to receive a lot more snow this season, we’re in a high-altitude area. This means that most of the snow will evaporate into the sky rather than the soil. 

So if this first snowstorm has you worried, don’t hesitate to give us a call at (303) 806-8733 for a free estimate! We’ll make sure your trees are stable enough to survive any winter storm damage this upcoming season.

Timely Trees: Cottonwood Trees in Colorado

Image
Have your allergies been letting you know what trees are budding? Our favorite is probably the cottonwood trees in Colorado. March marks the beginning of spring, but here in Colorado, we’re still dealing with sporadic weather that can sometimes delay the onstart of trees budding. But now that we’re (most likely) past those random snow storms, we’re starting to see the leaves really starting to bloom out.  Whether you’re excited about the warmer weather or clinging onto those cooler nights, the fluctuation can cause some issues. Warmer weather encourages new growth on the trees. But with the drops in temperatures overnight, the young buds are left exposed to weather that they’re just not strong enough to handle yet.  And as it warms suddenly, it prompts sudden growth from trees that may not bud until a little later in the year, like ash trees. All the new growth means more pollen for our poor sinuses. And we know the cottonwood trees in Colorado aren’t exactly helping....

Denver Lawn Care While arborists typically only focus on trees, here at ArborScape, we pride ourselves on taking care of all your horticulture needs, including lawn care. This is why we’ve decided to partner with Weed Man! Learn more about how they can take care of your Denver lawn care needs while we continue to care for your trees. Maintaining a lawn in Denver’s climate goes much deeper than just simple watering and mowing. Like trees, you have to get to the root of the issue, which is understanding the soil on our property so we can properly treat it and enjoy the benefits of a healthy lawn.

It determines what can grow on your property, so understanding Denver’s unique soil can help you properly care for your lawn’s needs. Colorado has three different types of soil throughout the state consisting of clay, silt, and sand. This means the soil is dry by n...
