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." Giroud Tree Crew Leader Mike Teti sets up for tree removal

Why Trees Need Winter Pruning

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

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.
