Treesacping Service
What is a Treescaping Service you ask?
A treescaper is one who is aware of the many
aspects of tree selection and placement around your property, he knows
the benefits and the hidden dangers . Here are some of the things an experienced
treescaper will make the homeowner aware of.
Tree Placement:
Controlling the Sun Factor
Trees affect the environment in which we live. Trees that lose their leaves in the fall (i.e., deciduous) are the most effective at reducing heating and cooling energy costs. When selectively placed around a house, they provide excellent protection from the summer sun but permit winter sunlight to reach and warm your house. The height, growth rate, branch spread, and shape are all factors to consider in choosing a tree.

Dangers:
Planting Under a Tree
Many gardeners enjoy incorporating existing trees into new plant beds
and making them a focal point for a landscape area in their yards. This
can cause problems if the wrong plants are chosen.
Planting too big of plants near and under trees that can cause major
root damage to the tree.
Many folks add soil around tree trunks and that can actually kill a
tree. Decks are another culprit; many times the poles can cut and injure
roots. Landscapers mulch under and around a tree and plant shallow rooted
plants like ground covers, annuals and perennials.
