Kitchener-Waterloo Tree Service and Tree Removal | Removing Trees Along King Street for the LRT

The Kitchener-Waterloo area is going to see some big changes in the next coming year as we prepare for the Light Rail Transit.  http://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/aboutus/abouttheproject.asp

We are honoured to be a part of this project to help create a better public transportation system.

Yesterday we started some of the tree removal along King Street in Kitchener.  Due to the road being widened to accommodate the tracks for the Ion, trees close to the road way need to be removed.

Hello Little Leaves

By now your trees should be covered with leaves.  This is a tell-tale sign that your tree is healthy.

This is a photo Calvin recently shot, while he was up in the boom cutting a tree.
When we are in residential areas like this, we use extensive roping systems to ensure the branches are safely brought down to the ground. Our crew on the ground carefully guides the branch down after Calvin cuts it.

Can my lawnmower damage my trees?

We encourage our clients to take caution when mowing the grass around the base of a tree.  Often trees are damaged by a lawnmower, weed whip and other trimming equipment.  When a tree is injured it can lead to further problems such as decay and then inevitably the tree will start to die.

Tree Planting. What you should know.

Spring is just around the corner, and many of you will begin purchasing and planting trees.

We often get asked to recommend species of trees, however, it really does depend on why you are planting a tree.

If you are looking for privacy, many people are eager to plant evergreens.  They grow quickly, are also a great tree to block the wind.  However, they are more susceptible to being damaged in a storm.  One way of getting around this, is to plant them in a grove.  This will allow the roots to intertwine, reducing the risk of a tree being uprooted.

Hardwood trees are what we definitely recommend.  They do take longer to grow, but they are stronger, and are 3 times more likely to have the ability to withstand storms.  Again, planting them in groves, so they can all intertwine roots will help to prevent any of them from getting uprooted.

Many of you will remember the storm that whipped through the Kitchener-Waterloo area last summer.  As we went out to emergency calls, it was obvious to us that the hardwood trees had braved the strong winds much better.

With the warmer weather, does come storms, unfortunately.  We hope this has given you some ideas of how to protect your trees, and what to keep in mind when tree planting.
