Tree
​Removal

Removing a tree can be dangerous if the job isn't done right or done by the right team of experts. Many people depend on us because we are the preferred and most widely used tree care service in Butte. We have the right equipment and manpower needed to effectively and safely remove any size tree that you have. If you are in doubt concerning removing the trees, give us a call for consultations and a free estimate.

However, if you see particular symptoms that could prove problematic in the future, do not hesitate to give us a call. For example, a tree that has changed the form and structure needs to be considered one of the main warning signs, which means it needs to be removed. If you ignore a tree limb leaning to the driveway or the house entrance, it could end in disaster. The tree may fall one day on your car or one a person. There is no need to describe the endless ways that could go wrong. A hollow trunk is also a red flag. Hollow trunks usually mean the tree is dying because the cavity is produced when branches have fallen off. At this time, the tree may be beyond saving, so the sensible thing to do would be to remove it before further damage is done to the surroundings.

Pay attention to the health of the bark. If the bark seems cracked or peeling, it means the tree is suffering from a disease. You can do a scratch test on several spots to see if it is healthy. However, falling bark means the tree is dying and needs to be removed before a split occurs. Apart from old age or disease, physical problems can also weaken a tree to the point, the only thing to do is remove it. Storm damage is one of those things that can cause a lot of damage to the tree. If you see certain things like stem failure, roots coming up out of the ground, or crown twist, the tree is past saving.

Shrub and Bush
​Trimming & Pruning

The trimming and pruning of your shrub and bush are also important to the appearance of your home. If you care about the appearance of your home and property, then have your shrub and bush routinely trimmed and pruned. It is something you may wish to do yourself but lack the skills or the tools needed to do it. Rely on us, as we have everything that we need for the job. Pruning and trimming are also done for the plants' health to remove diseased branches and leaves. Room is created for new branches to grow so the plants can thrive. The goal is to make your shrubs look healthy and well maintained. If no pruning is done, the infection will overrun the shrubs in your yard. Pruning also reduces the chances of pests because they will not have a comfortable space in which to spread all over the place. Termites and other insects can become big problems for your landscaping by infesting and destroying plant life. Luckily Butte Tree Pros knows how to deal with them effectively. Call us up, and we will handle the pruning after an estimation is done.

You shouldn't attempt to handle the job if you don't want to harm yourself or ruin the appearance of your trees. Leave it in the hands of our experts.

Stump Grinding
& Removal

If you have ever had a tree removed, you know that a stump remains if it isn't also removed at the same time. Allow us to help you by effectively removing your tree stump. After removing the stump, we can grind it for you or use it as wood chips for your landscaping. Regardless of why you would like to have your tree stump removed, we're happy to do it for you. Stump removal is not the same thing as stump grinding, of course.

With stump removal, it entails the complete removal of the stump along with the roots. That would need heavy use of force, and it would disfigure the yard because of the large hole left behind. Do not forget that the roots tend to be much bigger than the size of the tree. That is why stump grinding tends to be preferred a lot of the time because you don't have to deal with the hole that is left behind. It will not leave the environment a mess as the chips will be repurposed for mulch or any other uses that would be beneficial.

It is also environmentally better to use. When the stump is left to rot or is chemically broken down, there will be unwanted side effects on the surroundings, as the ground and the other trees will be poisoned. The rot may cause an increase of moss and fungi, which could also cause diseases that will affect the yard. Stump grinding removes these problems from the equation by physically reducing the stump without chemically or biologically affecting your other shrubs. It also increases the level of safety as the stump could cause damage to your property and poses a danger to the family. If the surrounding grass is long, your family members will have problems seeing it meaning the kids could easily trip and seriously hurt themselves when playing. You may also have an accident when trying to mow the lawn and inadvertently hit the stump. Instead of dealing with the uncertainty of when an incident will occur, why not just call us to deal with it quickly.

Stump grinding is very quick and efficient. When other options of removal or disintegrating are used on stumps, it could take much more time to get it to the level of the ground after eating all of the wood away. That will require both work and attention by you as the homeowner. If you have it ground by us, you will be surprised by how quick it would be. Following the stump grinding, you will be pleased to realize how much curb appeal will be gained from the stump grinding. That spills over to the level of the property value instantly achieved because of the visual appeal. A tree stump is one thing that takes up a lot of space that would otherwise be used for other things in the yard. By getting rid of it, you gain more real estate, making the yard look way better.

Tree Health
​Maintenance & Care

When it comes to the health of your tree, there is no one better suited to help you than we are. We have been in the business for several decades and have studied every type of tree that exists. With the hundreds of tree species that there are, we realize just how valuable our services are. Tree maintenance allows us to effectively care for your trees, no matter what type it is. If you do not keep the trees in your yard in the right shape, it will lead to irreversible damage to the trees and the landscape. That's why the best favor you could do for your trees is to hire a professional platform such as Butte Tree Service Pros to help you do your maintenance and keep the trees and shrubs in check. By pruning and touching up the branches for new growth, you are reducing the chances of the disease spreading through the trees as we will remove the ailing branches and points of infection that could stress the tree moving forward. It is also to improve the sunlight and level of air circulation in the trees, so the tree branches grow adequately without suffocating some parts. 

Even those areas of the tree that are damaged should be snipped because they are stress points and may spread or get infected if they are not taken care of. If you do not have these fixed, the problems could end up becoming permanent. Tree maintenance does not only cater to the health of the tree but also the appearance. In the wild, trees generally grow depending on the resources they have, and it is survival for the fittest. These trees grow in different directions according to the available resources, but that does not necessarily mean it looks pretty. Tree maintenance is there to make sure that the direction of growth is suitable for the orientation of the home and the safety of the occupants. It also boosts the property value of the house. If you decide one day to move, a tree that is overgrown or skewed in shape will reduce the curb appeal because it does not make the landscaping look better. In fact, it makes the yard feel unkempt, even if other shrubs otherwise look okay. Routine maintenance is meant to keep the shrubs under control by removing undergrowth and controlling the direction of tree development.

Funny enough, tree maintenance will also reduce the amount of money you spend on utilities. How does this figure, you ask? Planting trees and shrubs strategically may create a sort of microclimate zone. It may function to block the sun's rays during the summer and make the yard more comfortable with breezes. Trees are good for blocking freezing winds during the winter and could make the house feel a bit warmer. That means you won't have to spend as much money keeping the home cooler or warmer. Of course, this will only be the case if the trees are kept in excellent condition.

Tree Cabling
& Bracing

When a tree is diseased, this can pose a threat to your safety. Don't take unnecessary chances with your safety by ignoring any possible problems with your trees. The main reason why cabling is done is for preventative and preservation purposes. Cables can reduce the chance of limb failure on a tree which is healthy and has weak crotches. When it comes to weak trees as well, cabling safeguards the aesthetic value of the tree. It also protects your friends and family from danger, especially if the tree is diseased or has prevailing issues. Bracing is done for the same reasons as cabling, but it happens on much lower parts of the tree. It would entail the invasive installation of steel rods above and below the area of damage. A lot of the time, as well, tree bracing is used as a complement to cabling. Bracing functions as aid also in securing splits in tree trunks or at the main branch junctions. Cabling and bracing can be subtle, so they are set in a way that is not noticeable.

Now you may not know the signs to look out for before calling Butte Tree Service Pros to help you out with the distressed trees. Tree branches that seem over-extended and heavy are risk factors because they place a lot of pressure on the trunk. As such, there is a potential of breaking off, which would be disastrous for the people below. Weather also plays a part in the risk factors as snow can weigh heavily on the branches after the winter, so you need to watch out for it. If you call us after adverse weather events like storms, we can help do some pruning to alleviate the issue. Cabling will also do weight redistribution to the trunk. A V-crotch stem is also risky and could be a sign that cabling is needed. This happens when two big stems come from the same trunk section, and that forms a V. These stems have to be dealt with as soon as possible so there are no structural problems considering the stems may not feature the connective tissues keeping them strong. If the tree happens to be on the younger side, then it would be possible to sacrifice one of the stems for the tree's good. Culling a mature stem, though, is not the best idea because it will only make the tree weak and possibly lead to its demise. The older trees with V crotches are the best candidates for cabling and bracing. Splitting and other seemingly weak sections on the higher branches are also signs that cabling is needed so that the tree does not become a danger to passersby and property. If you see any splitting on the lower sections of the trunk, that could mean that the tree is becoming structurally weak from disease or physical damage and would need bracing to strengthen it. Splitting on the crotches also warrants cabling so that the branches do not eventually fall.

Traditional and dynamic cabling
Our package provides for two types of cabling. These are static and dynamic. The static ones are made from steel cable and hardware, while the dynamic options are non-invasive rope materials. If you are going for horizontal setups between the branches of young or slightly mature trees that do not have a crotch, then dynamic would be the way to go. These are for trees with leggy structures and would allow for some flexibility to the wind and the ice. It also applies for diseased trees and has hollow branches where drilling is likely to make the decay worse or not give the right anchorage for hardware that would otherwise be invasive. The great thing with dynamic cabling is that it allows for some sway in the trees to appear a bit natural after the support procedure. Then there is static cabling which is also recommended for horizontal settings between the branches of the young to middle mature trees that have bark intrusions or braced cracks. The only difference with static cabling is that it would be better used for those trees that do not need much movement above the bracing sets. The tree will not have a lot of natural movement after static cabling. It would also allow for vertical support of the horizontal limbs. In any case, choosing the best avenue to go with will depend on the decision we arrive at following a visit to your property. At Butte Tree Service, you can be certain we offer the best cabling and bracing, which can help stabilize your tree while it is being treated. It is a service that should only be handled by a qualified professional who knows the necessary precautions to take while securing the tree.
