Excavation is the action of digging up or unearthing a particular area. Some property owners call for excavation services when they need work done in their backyard and other outdoor areas across their property. When you use a shovel during excavation, it will certainly be a very long and tedious process. However, when heavy equipment is used, excavation can be completed in a day, of course, longer when the area to be excavated is larger.

Yes, you need more than just a regular shovel during excavation. Other types of heavy equipment used include tractors, power shovels, bulldozers, backhoes, and more.

Especially when you have some trees on your property, it is ideal to call a tree contractor for excavation services. If some trees have to be removed, they can help you out with it. In many cases, transplanting trees or moving a tree from one part of a property to another can be arranged as well.

When trees get very tall and large, property owners make efforts to ensure that the surrounding area remains safe. Tree topping and crown reduction are some of the services considered to reduce the height of the tree. This is a risky job so in the event that you would want to get this done, make sure you’re working with a licensed tree contractor.

Trees are such beautiful features in any property so many choose to have them around and let them grow for many years and decades. However, some trees can grow very tall and large to the point that they can be quite dangerous and risky to people and property that surround them. This is the reason why tree trimming services are very important.

It is also essential to learn more about the difference between tree topping and crown reduction. To make a long story short, tree topping is not recommended by expert arborists and tree maintenance professionals. So you may wonder why such a thing still exists if it’s so bad? Lack of knowledge is a primary reason for that. When you’re working with a licensed tree contractor, you will be advised that tree topping must not be done.

Tree topping is the process that removes entire canopies and large branches to quickly decrease a tree’s height. When this is done, the tree’s health suffers. Large wounds are left exposed and a lot of foliage is removed. You may think that a tree becomes less of a hazard by doing so but tree topping can actually weaken the tree and make it even more dangerous.

On the other hand, crown reduction is the preferred method of licensed tree contractors. From the top canopy, some limbs are cut very carefully so that the tree remains protected. As a general rule, when cutting down limbs, you can only remove a maximum of 20% of the total canopy size. This tedious yet careful procedure is best to avoid harsh and shocking treatment to the tree, which may lead to shock.

For assistance in proper crown reduction Deltona, call the tree trimming experts at Duval and Son Services. We also offer other tree maintenance jobs like tree removal, stump removal, preventive tree maintenance, and more.

Spring is a great time for tree trimming. The weather is great and along with your general household spring cleaning, why not go for a full maintenance check for your outdoor area as well? One important note though – trimming during this season is not ideal for all tree types. When you’re doubtful, ask your local arborist or tree contractor for advice. Of course, that depends on the kind of trimming or pruning you want to be done. In fact, there are several types of tree trimming.

Tree trimming generally means removing or cutting down some limbs and branches that are overgrown. There are plenty of benefits attributed to trimming trees. Among them are the following:

• Tree trimming helps improve tree health.
  
• Tree trimming is a great way to beautify the tree and strengthen its structure.
• For fruit- or flower-bearing trees, trimming can help increase or improve the produce.
• Tree trimming opens up your view, increases air circulation, and sun exposure.
• A great way to prevent trees from becoming hazardous is through tree trimming.

The common types of tree trimming include:

• Fine Pruning – This is usually done for aesthetic purposes. Small limbs are removed to shape or beautify trees.
  
• Standard Pruning – The structure of the tree is enhanced and strengthened by strategic cutting on some areas of the tree.
  
• Crown Reduction – When a tree is starting to overgrow, stretches towards your neighbor’s property, the structure of your home, powerlines, and others, trimming is done.
  
• Hazard Trimming – When a tree seems to be unsafe or in danger of falling down, it can be trimmed instead of removing it.
