tree care

April 12, 2021

We believe the best investment to protect our urban forest and mitigate the risks of having trees near our homes and businesses is proactive tree care. By properly caring for our trees, we can prolong their life and avoid premature and unnecessary removals.

In the forest, trees exist and flourish without any human intervention or controls. Dead limbs fall off eventually, views are not obstructed so limbs are not selectively removed and poor branch structure is not a concern for nature. However, in the urban environment our structures, playscapes and lawns impact our trees and our trees impact them.

Your trees offer more than just shade. Caring for your living investment is essential to ensuring the aesthetic of your property, maintaining the value of your landscape, and protecting our urban canopy. Caring for your trees is your responsibility, but caring for our urban canopy is a community-wide obligation or duty.

Understandably, crew safety is a hot topic in the tree care industry. As professionals, we must always ask ourselves, “How can we be more safe?” The reason for this is obvious to us at NUF, it is a dangerous job and beyond that, and we care about our crew and want to consistently improve the way we operate. This goes in line with our core value to “Be Better”.

In late April, the trustees of the Oconee Hill Cemetery reached out to NUF; there were several trees that had recently died and needed to be removed.

This year we enter springtime with a sense of uncertainty, but blooming flowers and emerging leaves stand as a sign that life continues. Those of us working from home and practicing social distancing can take time to get outside and reconnect with our properties and trees. We hope that your home, gardens and landscape provide some respite from the stress of this season.

NUF recently had the opportunity to be involved in a unique project in the North Georgia mountains.

Meeting with an arborist will not only help to ease fears during storm season, but also insure the health and longevity of our urban canopy. Diagnosing and treating common tree ailments early, and pruning to improve tree structure are the best ways to reduce the impact of storms.

Will this kill my tree? If your trees show any of these signs or symptoms and believe they might suffer from one of the conditions listed, please contact your arborist. New Urban Forestry’s plant health care team has prescribed treatments for many common conditions.

New Urban Forestry recently conducted tree inventories for two very different purposes. The first was for the zip line route at the Sandbar, a local business that provides a zip line tour across the Broad River. We also spent a great day in the Historic Downtown area of Greensboro, GA recording trees along the streetscape.

Our arborists occasionally come across bees that have made their home in a tree that needs to be removed. Last week we successfully relocated a hive to a new home at Tallassee Highlands Apiary.
