Why Hire an Arborist?

At Shearer Tree Service, we understand the value trees provide to home and business owners vary immensely. While some trees may have sentimental value, other trees may provide shade, wind protection and control water run-off, making them very difficult to replace. 

It has been documented that trees can increase property value by 15%. If you or your pet are having health-related problems, you seek the best medical attention available. Finding answers to tree health should be no different. While many DIY'ers turn to their computer for quick and cost-effective answers, this fix can equate to nothing more than putting a band-aid on a hemorrhage. 



Well-maintained trees should be viewed as an investment and, like all investments, they need to be monitored. Certified arborists gain extensive knowledge provided by rigorous training and examinations. This training is not limited to diagnosis and treatment, but concentrates on ANSI Z133, which are some of the strictest standards for safety training within the tree care industry. 

Types of Services Provided by an Arborist

Diagnosis and Treatment

Sick or dying trees can quickly become a liability when their branches become weak and brittle. Various factors, including disease caused by insect infestation, pollution from farming and landscaping pesticides, and other damage created by strong winds and severe temperatures, are just a few of the many challenges trees face throughout the year.

Certified arborists are trained to identify current or potential threats and then help you create the best plan to eradicate or combat the problem.

Complete Tree and Stump Removal

Unfortunately, there are times when trees are too far gone to be saved, and removal becomes the only answer. Questions as to whether or not a tree can be saved are best left to an arborist to decide.

If you have a tree that may be dying and is in a hard-to-reach spot and will be in need of a tree climber to get the job done, do not wait to have the tree removed. Once the tree becomes too brittle to climb, you eliminate the climbing option. When viable options are eliminated, tree removal costs can skyrocket.

Planting

Many factors need to be considered before you pick the perfect trees to become the focal point of your landscape. An arborist is your go-to person for answers to all the questions homeowners are sure to have when picking out trees in their landscape design.

Tree Trimming and Pruning

Tree trimming and pruning is an art that takes years to perfect. Our experienced staff of climbers and trimmers, led by our ISA-certified arborist, have mastered their craft through years of experience and safety training. Don't take our word for it, just ask your friends and neighbors or any of our past clientele. Our reputation speaks for itself.

Emergency Tree Care

Trees located in the Midwest are constantly being challenged by extreme winds and a variety of challenging severe weather conditions. If you have experienced damage from storms, including high winds and hail, immediately contact an arborist to assess the damage and create the best plan to restore your outdoor landscape to its original beauty.

As an ISA-certified arborist, Scott will be more than happy to meet with your insurance agent to discuss the damages and answer any questions they may have.
