One of the benefits of hiring a professional tree care company to handle your tree care needs is that the company will have the tools necessary to complete the job, and the expertise to use them properly. In a blog last month, we discussed Stein Tree Service’s competitive advantage. We are the oldest independently owned tree care company in Delaware, but our equipment and knowledge are state of the art.
When we think about tree and plant health care, one thing that is often overlooked is how vital soil health is to the trees and plant life. In fact, roots play a more important role in the overall health of the tree than the canopy, or anything above the ground.
At Stein, we are always working to improve our tree care techniques and processes. To that end, we recently purchased an advanced new mini lift that will allow us to more easily and safely perform tree pruning or tree removal.
In 2017, we had two major winter storms bearing down on us, and the 2018 winter is already upon us. Though we may avoid getting snow from Bruce, residents should be prepared for winter weather. Heavy snow or ice precipitation, and windy storms could cause vulnerable trees to fall, or branches to be blown off of trees. These events present a danger to people and property. Before storm clean up becomes a necessity, residents still have time to get trees inspected, and to have any that are deemed threats, especially those overhanging structures or power lines, removed.
Competitive Advantage means that which makes a product or service valuable to a customer. Everyone wants to feel that they are getting the right value for their hard-earned money. We love our customers and we are passionate about providing exceptional tree care. As the oldest independently owned professional tree care service company in Delaware, we want our customers to feel good about our services, and confident that they have received the best tree care possible. We are pleased that many of our customers have used our services for years, or have been referred by existing customers.
If you are looking for a new holiday tradition that is great for the environment, how about using a live tree instead of a fresh cut tree? Stein Professional Tree Care Service Company advocates trying a live tree in your home this holiday. The live tree care is a little different from what you would provide a cut tree, but at the end of the season, you will have a brand addition to your landscape.
Our area has had a very wet summer season. The precipitation is great for our lawns and our thirsty landscapes are thriving. And though trees need water too, too much water can cause damage or create conditions where they are at risk of uprooting. Having a tree care evaluation could be a proactive measure that saves your tree—or your property!
Local, tree enthusiasts may already be familiar with the Pennsylvania State Tree, the Eastern Hemlock. For residents who are unaware, the tree care service specialists at Stein give details about this slow growing evergreen. Stein Tree Service provides services to many areas in Pennsylvania, in addition to Delaware and Maryland. Our certified arborists are passionate about trees and enjoy informing residents about the native trees in our area.
Trees are an important and integral part of the landscapes as they provide much-needed shade and beauty to homes throughout the Northeast. They also help filter the air to give our community a fresher and cleaner environment. However, as with all living things, our trees require care, including proper tree trimming and pruning, if they are to stay looking and functioning great for many, many years to come. Oak wilt is one disease that is very harmful to local trees, and that homeowners should be aware of. If a tree is diagnosed with oak wilt, tree removal may be necessary to prevent spread to surrounding trees.
Leyland Cypress trees make a fantastic addition to any northeasterner’s home. These beautiful evergreens are fast and hardy growers that quickly mature into tall and wide trees that add a pleasing touch to just about any yard or landscape. Many Delaware residents will use them either as accent trees to break up the landscape or plant them in a row to create a type of living privacy wall or barrier. In short, there are a lot of ways to incorporate Leyland Cypress trees into your landscaping layout and, in general, they are guaranteed to thrive in most climate conditions with proper tree care — except when their local area experiences sudden and extreme temperature fluctuations such as we had this past winter.
