Aabear Tree Care FAQs

Yes, we can! It's ideal to have four to six feet of clearance between tree limbs and your home or roof. Call us for help removing any limbs and branches that pose a risk to your property. We have a 60-foot lift truck to use for tree trimming. 

We employ all our own full-time, professional tree care crews. When you hire Aabear Tree Care, you’ll work with our uniformed and experienced tree trimming team from start to finish. Unskilled tree workers can actually cause damage to your trees and possibly your property.

We have a huge inventory of tree care vehicles and tools at our disposal. Our fleet includes a full chipper truck, a 60-foot lift truck, dump trailers, hauling trailers, and more. Some of our other tree removal equipment includes a stump grinder, a spay rig for deep root feeding, and an air spade that uses air to expose roots or sprinkler lines without damaging the trees. According to Home Advisor, a crane may be necessary to remove a tree more than 80 feet in height. Contact us for a team with the proper equipment to tackle any job.

Most likely your tree is in transition, which is common. However, we are always happy to come and take a look to ensure your trees are healthy. As ISA Certified Arborists, we love trees and are eager to help diagnose any concerns you have. Contact us for all your tree trimming, health management, and removal needs!

It’s always the right time if your trees need trimming. No matter the season, we always paint our oak cuts to protect them from oak wilt. We always say tree trimming is both a skill and an art, so we take pride in how the finished product looks on your property.

If you think you may have oak wilt, it’s always best to have a professional diagnose your trees. Once a tree starts showing symptoms, oak wilt can become catastrophic very quickly and even spread to the surrounding trees. Oak wilt often shows up on live oaks as brown veins on the leaves. However, the signs for red oaks are often under the bark and harder to find. If you think you may have a tree with oak wilt, please call us right away. We can assist you with tree health management, tree trimming, and all your other needs.

Not all tree care workers are ISA Certified Arborists. We would argue that you should always hire someone who has gone through the ISA training and testing for tree removal. This process is important for safety, knowledge, and more. To become an ISA Certified Arborist, you must pass a rigorous test on 10 areas of tree service expertise including pruning techniques, tree risk management, safe work practices, tree health care, soil management, tree identification, tree biology, urban forestry, tree protection, and tree installation.

Our customers ask us every day to help them identify their trees. We love trees and are happy to educate our customers. We provide so much more than just tree removal! We’re always excited to share our knowledge about the specific trees you have and help you understand how to care for them.

There are a few times throughout the year that are ideal for feeding trees. Fall feeding is important to help them thrive throughout the colder winter months. However, 85% of trees grow the most from March to June, so early spring is a great time to feed them as well. Healthy trees are more resistant to disease, so we always recommend feeding them. If you have any more questions about tree feeding, health management, or tree trimming, call us today!
