At some point, trees in the urban environment require removal. Whether the trees are dead or diseased, are a threat to people or property, or don’t fit with a long-term plan for the property, tree removal may be the only option. Some of our customer’s goals can be met without removing trees. We will discuss these options when meeting with our clients and use tree removal as a last resort.

Tree pruning can be a useful tool in ensuring the health and structure of your trees. By proactively maintaining a tree’s canopy, many conflicts between trees and properties can be avoided before they become a larger issue. In most cases, a pruning plan is discussed with the client to address the goals of the work. Click below to see pruning options.

Not all stumps are in an area where stump grinding is necessary. Should the stump need to be removed; it can be ground out to a depth of 6” below the surrounding grade. If desired, we will “chase” as many surface roots as practical and grind those out as well. Click below to see stump grinding options.

Southcentral Alaska is in the midst of a Spruce Bark Beetle epidemic. Most areas in and around Anchorage are thoroughly infested with beetles. Protecting your spruce trees from an infestation can be a difficult, costly, and not always successful process. Watering your trees regularly (watering recommendations can be found in the plant health care tab) during the growing season is an easy, and essential step to keeping your trees strong, vigorous and healthy. Boreal Tree Care also offers an insecticide application to help further suppress the Spruce Bark Beetle.

Water, nutrition, pests, and proper planting methods all contribute to the overall health (or lack thereof) and longevity of your trees. See what we can do to keep your trees healthy. We also have information about invasive tree species in Southcentral Alaska.
