  • Is my tree withering away?

    Our skilled arborist from Reed Tree Services can evaluate the well-being of the trees on your premises. A professional examination is vital to confirm the tree's status. Trees showing signs of decline might just require some tender loving care, while seemingly healthy trees could be at risk of falling. Our arborist is well-versed in identifying key indicators in tree maintenance.

  • How can you determine whether a tree requires cutting down?

    Identifying indicators is crucial. Firstly, inspect for any dead or decaying branches that could potentially fall and cause harm. Secondly, watch out for signs of disease or pest infestations, like peeling or discolored bark, or the presence of insects. Thirdly, assess the tree's proximity to structures such as buildings and power lines. If there's a risk to safety or property, removal may be necessary. Moreover, if the tree is leaning significantly or has a substantial crack in the trunk, consulting a professional arborist is advisable to ascertain if removal is required. Reed Tree Services offers comprehensive tree care in St. Charles, St. Peters, O'Fallon, Lake St. Louis, Wentzville, Troy, Foristell, Wright City, and neighboring communities.

  • Is it necessary to remove all deceased trees?

    If a dead tree is situated near a residence, park, or any busy public area, it is advisable to consider removing it. This action can mitigate the risk of branches or the entire tree collapsing and causing harm or destruction. Seeking guidance from a knowledgeable professional, such as a certified arborist, is recommended for proper assessment. They can provide valuable insights on whether the tree necessitates removal or if it should be preserved because of its ecological advantages.

  • Is the removal of a stump worth the effort?

    Arborists strongly advise the removal of stumps whenever feasible. Eliminating the stump will provide additional space for planting new trees or plants, minimize the chance of tripping, and safeguard surrounding structures and vegetation from harm. Moreover, enlisting the services of a skilled stump removal expert ensures a safe and efficient job that protects your property and its surroundings.

  • What sets trimming apart from pruning?

    Tree pruning involves the removal of excess branches while trimming is focused on enhancing the healthy growth of the tree. These techniques are carried out at different times of the year and necessitate specific equipment. Reed Tree Services in St. Charles, St. Peters, O'Fallon, Lake St. Louis, Wentzville, Troy, Foristell, Wright City, and surrounding areas can assess your tree care needs and propose an appropriate solution.

  • How do storms affect trees? What kind of damage can storms inflict on trees?

    Severe weather events like storms, high winds, tornados, heavy rain, and other natural calamities can dislodge trees, leading them to topple over or shed branches and limbs. Such incidents can bring about significant expenses in property damage and, potentially, physical harm. In times of crisis, Reed Tree Services stands ready to provide emergency assistance in regions encompassing St. Charles, St. Peters, O'Fallon, Lake St. Louis, Wentzville, Troy, Foristell, Wright City, and their neighboring communities.
