Protecting Ash Trees from Emerald Ash Borer

Emerald Ash Borer is 100% fatal to Ash Trees.  Rob Nagy, ISA Certified Arborist with Giroud Tree and Lawn, evaluates a large Ash tree in Elkins Park PA and determines that the best Emerald Ash Borer treatment option is a trunk injection with TREE-age.  Rob shows how he measures the tree to determine the exact dosage rate required to give the Ash Tree two full years of Emerald Ash Borer control.

Giroud Donates $2,880 to Pennypack Trust for Hazardous Tree Removal

Hazardous tree removal from the Pennypack Creek was the focus of Giroud Tree and Lawn's donation of $2,880 in volunteer time and equipment to the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust in celebration of Earth Day.  Two large beech trees had fallen across the creek and were causing a damming hazard.  Giroud volunteers and ISA Certified Arborists, Drew Slousky, Mike Teti and Rob Nagy stood in the creek to cut down the trees and remove them with Giroud's crane.

Emerald Ash Borer Endangers Local Ash Trees

Emerald Ash Borer, a deadly pest, has been confirmed in Warrington PA by the PA Department of Agriculture. Watch the video as Drew Slousky, Giroud Vice President and ISA Certified Arborist, explains that Emerald Ash Borer is a threat to all Ash Trees within 15 miles around Warrington PA which covers most of Bucks and Montgomery County PA and parts of Philadelphia and the Main Line. Homeowners need to have your Giroud ISA Certified Arborist survey your property for Ash Trees.

Hazardous Tree Removal in Elkins Park

Tree removals can be a challenge. "Every tree removal job is unique." says Rob Nagy, Giroud Arborist. "The tree's proximity to the house, garden beds, lawn, and electrical wires are just a few of the challenges that must be considered to safely remove a tree." 

Watch our video, you'll see how our Giroud Tree crew removes a hazardous Tulip Tree in Elkins Park and transports the wood from a remote part of a customer's property to our chipper truck while protecting the customer's lawn and surrounding structures.

Why Trees Need Winter Pruning

When you have trees around your house, storms can put you on high alert.  What will happen to your favorite tree? Is your house safe?  How will the limbs hanging over the roof handle the wind, snow and ice? 


Pruning is one of the best ways to help your trees stand-up to winter.  The difference after pruning is dramatic.  Watch this video as Giroud Arborist, Scott Slousky shows you a Silver Maple before and after pruning and explains how pruning makes trees safer.  While you watch this video, it's important to note that this tree was improperly pruned many years ago by another company.  Our crew performed corrective pruning of the weakest limbs and deadwood to achieve the best results possible.
