1. Tree Consultation

Opinions are a dime a dozen. What you need is someone who really knows. Maier Forest and Tree provides low cost consultations so that the average homeowner can afford to have an expert opinion. Many times diseases are misdiagnosed and treatments are sold based on bad information. Money is spent needlessly on things when important items are overlooked. Start by calling us. Then you are off on the right foot and your trees and your pocket book will be in good shape.

2. Tree Pruning

Pruning is a critical part of your tree's life. If done properly, the tree can have beautiful form, withstand high winds, resist decay and live a long life. If done improperly, your tree can be unsafe, unsightly and short-lived. Urban trees, in fact, need some direction as they grow. Whether thinning, shaping, raising or removing deadwood the art and science of the arborist is put to the test. Behind each of our cuts is a high level of training and specialized equipment that is not found in many companies.

5. Tree and Stump Removal

The time comes when a tree needs to be removed due to death, a hazardous condition, overcrowding, or poor location. Removals are either simple, in that there are no obstacles to work around, or it may be difficult due to its proximity to a house, landscape, utility lines, roads or other obstacles. Whether using ropes, pulleys and other rigging gear, or using a crane to assist, we find safe and efficient solutions to the obstacles we face.

6. Tree Preservation During Construction

In the building process, the best time to consider the trees is during planning. Good planning can add decades to the trees in your yard. A lack of planning will certainly shorten their lives and more importantly can make them unsafe. If you are counting on your trees to be there for the long haul, it is critical that a Forester be involved from the start. We can work with your builder to develop a construction tree preservation plan that will protect your interests and will be very manageable for the builder as well.

7. Tree Value Appraisals

Tree Value appraisals may be a critical part of a real estate valuation, insurance loss claims due to an accident, legal claims, or just if you want to know what the tree is truly worth before making a decision about it.

8. Insect and Disease

There are so many insects and diseases that effect trees it takes a true expert to know what it is, if it is harmful to the tree, and what should be done. We make our money on consulting so our opinion is unbiased. We are not trying to sell you a remedy or cure. Training in arboriculture and forestry is our tool, and we use it well.

9. Hazard Tree Evaluation

Hazard Tree Evaluation is one of the most important jobs we do because it often determines the safety of your family and your property. Any time we are on your property, the first thing we look for is hazardous trees. Large deadwood and broken branches are usually the easy things to spot. However, the subtle signs that indicate interior decay, and the branches high in the tree take a trained eye, good diagnostic tools, and years of experience to catch. This information is absolutely essential for you home to be safe.
