Tree Care Services

We serve Southeastern PA Including Philadelphia.

Tree Authority specializes in proper tree care. From small tree planting to large tree pruning, we have the knowledge and foresight to ensure the safety and health of trees on your property!

Planting:

Proper planting is essential for long term survival. All too often we see trees planted too deep, buried in mulch, improperly staked and experiencing severe transplant shock. We can source and plant any trees you request, even if we don’t grow them at Tree Authority Nursery.

Tree Pruning:

Tree Pruning is an art few are able to master. The correct balance of removing live branches to ensure tree health while maintaining aesthetic appeal is something Tree Authority Specializes in. Trees should be pruned every 3-5 years to maintain proper form and reduce the risk of storm damage.  Large or small, we properly prune them all. 

Stump Grinding:

While we hate to see old trees go, we realize this is a necessary part of life. Equipped with a small stump grinder, we are able to remove those ugly stumps. Our grinder is able to go deep enough to immediately be able to plant a new tree where the old stump was. We specialize in getting those difficult stumps in city conditions. 

 

General Consultation:

Not sure if your tree is in good health? Wondering if that hole in the trunk could cause the tree to fall in a storm? Give us a call, we would be happy to provide guidance on the trees on your property. Written reports can be provided when necessary. 

Storm Damage:

Storm Damage happens, often at the worst times. Call us 24/7 for emergency storm response. 

Insect and Disease Control:

We use the arborject system (pictured) to inject trees with chemicals to control insect and disease problems. This means no spraying and the chemical is only in the target tree. 

Examples of issues we can help with include:

Emerald Ash Borer on Ash Trees

Bacterial Leaf Scorch on Oaks

Wooly Adeldged on Hemlock Trees

Root Collar Excavation:

Many trees planted by landscapers are often planted too deep, covering over the root flare. The flare is the beginning of the root structure and must always be visible at the surface. When buried, roots requiring oxygen come to the surface and girdle the trunk of the tree, often with lethal consequences. Using Air-Knife technology, we are able to excavate to the root flare and save trees buried too deep.

 

Tree Inventories:

Are you in charge of managing a large property with many trees? Want to know where the trees are, the species and the health condition? We are able to put together a comprehensive report that details every tree on the property! This also helps in future budgeting as we can put together a multi-year care plan.
