Why Professional Tree Care Matters

Trees add beauty, shade, and value to any property, but they also require regular maintenance to stay healthy and safe. Without proper care, trees can develop diseases, become structurally unstable, or even pose safety risks.

Here’s why expert tree care is essential:

✅ Promotes Tree Health – Regular trimming and inspections help prevent disease and decay.
✅ Enhances Property Safety – Removing dead or weak branches reduces the risk of falling limbs.
✅ Improves Curb Appeal – Well-maintained trees make your property look beautiful and inviting.
✅ Protects Structures & Utility Lines – Overgrown branches can damage roofs, fences, and power lines.

At Frank’s Tree Service, we specialize in keeping trees healthy, safe, and looking their best.

Our Tree Care Services

1. Tree Pruning & Trimming

Tree pruning isn’t just about cutting branches—it’s about shaping the tree for health, safety, and aesthetics.

🔹 Why Tree Trimming Matters:

• Encourages strong, healthy growth
• Removes dead or diseased branches
• Enhances tree structure to prevent breakage
• Improves sunlight exposure for nearby plants and grass

At Frank’s Tree Service, we use expert pruning techniques to ensure your trees grow strong and healthy.

2. Tree Removal Services

Sometimes, trees become a hazard due to disease, storm damage, or structural issues. If a tree poses a risk to your property or safety, removal may be necessary.

🔹 Common Reasons for Tree Removal:

• The tree is dead or dying
• Large branches threaten your home or power lines
• The roots are damaging driveways, sidewalks, or foundations
• The tree is too close to a structure and poses a safety risk

Our team at Frank’s Tree Service ensures safe, efficient tree removal with minimal disruption to your property.

3. Emergency Tree Removal & Storm Cleanup

🌪️ Storms can cause trees to fall without warning, damaging homes, cars, and power lines. In these urgent situations, you need fast, professional help.

🔹 Emergency Tree Removal Includes:

• 24/7 rapid response for fallen or hazardous trees
• Clearing debris from driveways, roads, and yards
• Coordinating with utility companies for power line clearance
• Ensuring your property is safe and damage-free

If you have a tree emergency, Frank’s Tree Service is available 24/7 to handle your needs.

4. Stump Grinding & Stump Removal

Once a tree is removed, the stump can be an eyesore, a tripping hazard, and a breeding ground for pests.

🔹 Why Remove a Stump?

• Prevents pest infestations like termites and ants
• Eliminates safety hazards for kids and pets
• Makes space for new landscaping or lawn projects

At Frank’s Tree Service, we use state-of-the-art stump grinding equipment to remove stumps quickly and efficiently.

5. Tree Health Assessments & Disease Prevention

Trees, like any living thing, are susceptible to disease, pests, and environmental stress. A professional tree health assessment can detect problems early and help save your trees.

🔹 Signs Your Tree Needs an Assessment:

• Discolored, wilting, or yellowing leaves
• Dead branches or peeling bark
• Presence of fungus, mushrooms, or pests
• The tree is leaning or structurally unstable

Our certified arborists can diagnose tree health issues and recommend treatments to restore tree vitality.

6. Land Clearing & Lot Preparation

If you're planning new construction or landscaping, land clearing is the first step. Our team can remove unwanted trees, brush, and debris to prepare your lot for development.
