Ideally, before the worst happens. A lot of times, a tree can become so familiar that it’s hard to imagine what your yard would be like without it. They’re beautiful, they create shade, attract wildlife, and make a lovely sound in the breeze, but sometimes an old or decaying tree can be much more harm to keep than it’s worth. It is often a difficult decision to let a tree go, but it’s important to look at the big picture. Consider the future of your property and how the tree is likely to progress, and think about the issues we outline for you below. We recommend that a dead or dying tree be removed as soon as you recognize it. The longer you put it off, the more dangerous the tree can become, and the more dangerous it can be to remove it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595199708677-61LTHC7EOE99ZPWBB7XO/Screen+Shot+2020-07-19+at+2.01.26+PM.png Tree Removal - Obvious reasons for tree removal The tree is dead or unhealthy. Take notice if the top of the tree or branches are dying back, or the trunk shows signs of decay. The tree was damaged in a storm. If enough of the tree was damaged it may be beyond repair. The tree is growing too close to – or the roots are encroaching on- your house, barn, utility lines or other structures. The tree is leaning in a dangerous direction, like toward your house, driveway, deck or your childrens’ play area. Sometimes this is not so obvious! The tree drops troublesome leaves or needles, sap, seeds, cotton, and/or branches. The tree is blocking your views or is creating too much shade and inhibiting your lawn to grow. You are planning landscape renovations that would damage the tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595199835411-L0BC6PQ5TFQCEPDVPZC4/Screen+Shot+2020-07-19+at+4.38.23+PM.png Tree Removal - Not so obvious reasons for tree removal (Have an arborist look for these issues) The tree has structural problems, such as interior decay. The tree has formed a bad crotch There are cracks in the main trunk or leaders The tree is too large for its location and poses a danger if it should fall or drop branches. The tree is in the way of construction or will be mortally damaged by heavy equipment. A disease or insect infestation will eventually cause tree death or spread to other trees. There is significant crowding among trees on your property. https://www.branchmgr.ca/pruning daily 0.75 2020-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595204635251-7K9RSVJOKJ0NNPSDPRE5/Screen+Shot+2020-07-19+at+2.02.07+PM.png Tree Pruning - Why Pruning?

Otherwise, the best time to prune is in late winter, early spring, just before the tree begins to open its buds. Some trees, such as maple and dogwood, will bleed sap at this time of year. This bleeding should not harm them. While pruning can be done anytime, it is always good to avoid hot dry periods and extreme winter cold. If you do prune trees after the leaves have opened, be sure to allow them to fully develop their leaves plus some additional time to recoup the energy they used. https://www.branchmgr.ca/stump-removal daily 0.75 2020-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595637315402-C2TMOJKHLGSFLWBZSNXM/Stump.jpg Stump Removal - How It works After a tree is cut down and the trunk and branches are removed, we able to completely remove the remaining stump from your property by using a process called stump grinding. This technique permits us to grind the remaining stump to ground level, allowing new sod, soil or cement to be placed on top. We offer stump removal services in Barrie, Innisfil, and the rest of Simcoe County. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595638858408-HSLWT3CHX0G30O43TXBP/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+8.59.34+PM.png Stump Removal - Why Grind Your Tree Stump? 1. Stumps aren't pretty. Aesthetically speaking, the sight of a stump definitely isn't appealing. If you're meticulous about your yard and landscaping, removing the stump is well worth it. 2. Stumps are hazardous. Stumps are dangerous to your children. When running and playing in your yard, they may not look for the stump and trip over it. And if a neighbor trips, it's a liability that falls into your hands. In addition, tree stumps can damage your mower if you accidentally hit one when you're mowing your lawn. 3. Stumps cause new tree growth. Sometimes leaving the stump behind contributes to new sprouts, which can result in many small trees growing around the stump. This is unsightly to your landscaping and quite costly to try to remove because the new shoots may keep coming back, and you may need chemicals to kill them off completely. These small trees also leech nutrients from other plants located near them, so your begonias may not receive all the nutrients they need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595639275081-Z2LSCQ1D3OOYE9M9D55S/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.05.06+PM.png Stump Removal - Continued 4. Stumps are a pain to maneuver around. Remaining tree stumps become a nuisance, an obstacle you have to maneuver around when weeding or mowing your lawn. 5. Stumps attract insects. When you leave stumps in your lawn, the decaying tree takes a long time to rot away completely. While it's decaying, the stump attracts beetles, termites, ants and other wood-boring pests. You may not mind them in your yard, but they can eventually spread to your home. 6. Stumps take up precious yard space. Especially if you don't have a very large yard, the space you lose from the stump and roots may occupy a lot of space. Just think: You can use that space for a flowerbed or a picnic table. https://www.branchmgr.ca/estimate daily 0.75 2020-07-31 https://www.branchmgr.ca/testimonials daily 0.75 2020-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1596794039795-PKULVXQCHFGIIDFSF8A1/Screen+Shot+2020-08-06+at+3.51.55+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1596794344211-O76HTDBBMON33I7FGLW3/Screen+Shot+2020-08-07+at+5.58.49+AM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595640480005-CNB6DE670MS78BZJ235K/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.25.38+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595640567939-LUXBH3XIGXM5KLSJTURS/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.25.12+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595640621337-WAQN19OPUEU0X1E3FS04/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.24.45+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595640669737-829DAZ9QWT7QURYY0ATJ/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.24.01+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595640762201-98OEKBXE5HDI825B500L/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.23.45+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595640862595-9ZF6C1G09CIQJ9NJCG7N/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.23.29+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595640965407-SOG12AOOPVAIEQYX4J9D/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.23.20+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595641058795-KJ9UXU9RRM1QFV0MNNC1/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.23.06+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595641151298-U8L3OESLAPVDP23Q5Q6U/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.22.35+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595641214874-GVHD5T9QZ3BT8K89TDL8/Aro%2BHa_0010.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595641282713-QUBG0FU0OFOPBJBIYSP8/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.22.06+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595641870490-NEL2NO5BMXNTSSWMQM0L/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.49.40+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595641900039-XCM10SWB4M03LZ8DIV9A/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.50.12+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595642230652-QV6MNXF3JQL0GSI9P19U/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.48.40+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595642125314-UT6SLVLK4ASAFTZC9BQW/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.49.21+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595642185516-ECU8AENEX0HHJ53SYDBZ/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.49.08+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595642309677-67QZVBE4DW05LCRAYOUG/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.48.31+PM.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595641943689-MSZUUUCHVLI193E8U79J/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.49.54+PM.png Testimonials https://www.branchmgr.ca/about daily 0.75 2020-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595182509686-B30P5NOS4LVYI8GSC2X6/Screen+Shot+2020-07-19+at+2.09.07+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595192869050-8YR278H2OWY7O3QG1LHM/Screen+Shot+2020-07-19+at+4.38.23+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595180899270-5J63RLDRFVMAIRSTEEBN/Pruning.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595194280904-465173FBPL0QTIYJE5W5/Screen+Shot+2020-07-19+at+2.01.48+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595856303526-L1HQ9SAYCIVHAXK7S9RP/IMG_20190905_093716.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595856310758-WTVA19SWYKECELH3YUYH/About+Us.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f14790b59262a257d7c87f5/1595191047119-RZLQRA644C9C0NL7ZHPF/Screen+Shot+2020-07-19+at+2.47.16+PM.png About - About Us Branch Manager is a full-service tree care company with deep Simcoe roots.
