Not Out of the Woods Yet

Thursday, September 1, 2011

On my way to work today, I heard that there is a hurricane brewing called Katia. It is too early to tell if it is going to affect us yet, but it brought to mind the importance of having your trees checked by a Giroud Arborist after a large storm such as Hurricane Irene.

I just passed Giroud trucks heading out to do more storm damage work. Michelle

Tree Fertilization

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

After all the rain we just had, you would think trees and lawns would be in great shape. I never knew until I started working at Giroud Tree that too much rain is bad for plants. Heavy rain washes away the nutrients in the soil. That’s why Tree Fertilization and Lawn Fertilization is so important. It replenishes the nutrients in the soil so our plants can thrive.

Tomorrow our Tree Service and Lawn Technicians will be doing Tree and Lawn Fertilizations in Philadelphia, Huntingdon Valley, Abington, Jenkintown, Elkins Park and Richboro making our world a little greener!

Hurricane Irene

Hurricane Irene storm damage calls still coming in. Michelle

Tree and Lawn Treatments Resume After Hurricane Irene

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Tomorrow we’re sending out Tree Service Technicians to spray Beech trees with fungicide to combat Bleeding Canker. What’s Bleeding Canker?! It’s a bark disease and a noticeable symptom is reddish ooze coming from small cracks in cankers on trees. If untreated it can cause branch die back and eventually kill the tree.

We’re also going to be treating Hemlocks in the Philadelphia area for Scale and Adelgid, serious pests which can cause significant damage.

The Lawn Care Department will be super busy tomorrow with routine lawn fertilizations as well as the start up of lawn aeration and seeding jobs!

Post Irene Tree Removal And Clean-up

Monday, August 29, 2011

While the damage was thankfully far less than projected, Hurricane Irene still packed a wallop. Flooding, saturated ground and wind, toppled many trees and left homeowners with trees on houses and yards strewn with limbs, leaves and branches. Watch this post-Hurricane Irene video of a tree removal and clean-up in Flourtown.
