Tree service in Fremont

Full maintenance pruning includes a set of operations that may include, depending on the case, different techniques including sanitation pruning, crown enhancement, thinning, re-balancing of antlers, restructuring, and clearing of structures and work areas.

Carried out both for aesthetic reasons and to maintain the health of the tree, pruning includes the cutting of twigs, dead, diseased, weak, or broken branches, and snags. This is a preventive measure that aims to strengthen the tree, shape it, lighten its branches, or even to produce quality wood without knots. All while extending its life expectancy.

Depending on the species, Ridge Tree Trimming Service, Fremont, will be able to provide pruning that respects the development and specific properties of each tree

Benefits of tree planting

There are many benefits we get from tree planting.

The tree fights against soil erosion

The planting and conservation of trees are great ways to fight against soil erosion, very common in urban areas, mainly because of construction and trampling. Tree roots hold the soil in place on sloping land, while their foliage regularly provides organic matter to make litter to cover the land. Trees stabilize and regulate the hydrology of the soil and the level of the water table.

The absence of plant cover makes the soil surface more sensitive to the impact of drops of water and the force of the wind. This may result in degradation of the soil structure or loss of material through gullying, erosion, runoff, etc. The problem is particularly important on sloping soils, the banks of streams and rivers, cliffs, hills and embankments.

The tree improves water quality

The roots of trees help filter water and improve its quality. The presence of trees reduces the volume of runoff, protects water sources, and reduces flood damage.

Plants limit pollution of surface water. Otherwise, the water would flow laden with pollutants found on bitumen, such as lead, carrying them to waterways or river sewers.

The forests are used to store and purify water. Litter traps water and decreases runoff and soil erosion. In addition, the forest cover reduces evaporation from the soil, stabilizes it and delays snowmelt.

A strip of vegetation near a stream can absorb much of the runoff laden with nutrients. These elements, retained by the root system of plants, thus reduce over-fertilization of water bodies and limit the development of algae and other aquatic plants.

The shade created by the trees on the water reduces the heating of the water, particularly of ponds or shallow lakes and therefore provides better oxygenation, essential for aquatic fauna since the level of oxygen present in the water is inversely proportional to its temperature.

The tree participates in the regulation of extreme temperature variations

Trees release water vapor into the atmosphere through the process of evapotranspiration. This phenomenon influences the local humidity level and moderates extreme variations in climate. Deforestation has been shown to increase the air temperature and wind speed, and change the regional or local pattern of precipitation.
