Trees offer shade and beauty, and they can greatly increase the outdoor appeal of a home. For the many homeowners who have trees in their yard, it’s important to find and consult with certified arborists in order to prevent and solve any tree problems your property could develop. However, even with Best Pick™ tree companies at their disposal, Maryland homeowners need to be vigilant and look for telltale signs of tree concerns. For example, if the base of a tree is covered in fungus and mushrooms, that’s a sign of rotting wood or dead roots. Other signs of a sick or dying tree are missing bark and raised earth at the base of the tree. If a compromised tree is located anywhere near the house and falls during heavy winds, the results can be devastating damage to the home. Unhealthy trees are a risk not worth taking.
Not only is it a good idea for a trained arborist to offer advice, but having experts performing the tree work is valuable as well. Untrained people masquerading as “tree experts” can cause lethal damage to a tree through the use of climbing spikes or cutting of the top of the tree, known as tree topping. Qualified tree care companies know will how best to manage your trees as well as recognize when permits for tree work are required and how to get them. Maryland homeowners can trust an EBSCO Research Best Pick™ tree care company to take good care of their trees, which leads in turn to taking good care of their whole property.
