Tree Removal and Planting

Tree Removal
If you are searching for “ palm tree removal near me ” anywhere in Phoenix, Arbor Care can help. We offer our affordable palm tree removal services all over the Phoenix Valley of Arizona, including Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Ahwatukee, Apache Junction, Chandler, Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, and Scottsdale.
Stump Grinding and Removal
Common reasons to grind away a tree stump include: Not having to mow around it, planting a new tree, aesthetics and to avoid ants and other pest near your home. Tree stump removal is easy, quick and affordable and won’t do any damage to the rest of your landscape.
Crown Reduction
A properly crown-thinned tree is beautiful! As with a good hair trim, observers hardly notice it has been done unless ‘before and after’ photos have been taken. Aesthetics aside, a proper crown-thin can also offer greater peace of mind. The best way to judge whether a tree is due for a crown-thin is to look up into the canopy — actually try to look THROUGH the canopy — to see how much of the sky is visible through the foliage of the tree. If it is so dense that one cannot hardly see any of the sky beyond the tree, crown-thinning is definitely recommended. WHY? Because if you cannot easily see through a tree’s canopy, then the wind also has a hard time blowing through it. Most of the time this is not a big problem. However, if a storm comes through, then all the sudden there is potentially a huge problem — one that is too late to fix. The Arizona monsoon season is known to be accompanied by microbursts that unpredictably strike certain areas with particularly strong winds. To compare the canopy of a tree to a ship’s sail, a wise sailor does not keep full sails up in a nasty storm. A dense canopy will offer much resistance to heavy winds, and the unfortunate result of this is breakage of limbs or even loss of the entire tree. The effects of strong winds are exacerbated if they come following a great amount of precipitation, because the roots cannot hold as sturdily in soggy ground. This is one scenario when there is higher risk of a tree being uprooted. There are other problems related to the root system of a tree that contribute to high risk of being uprooted (during a storm or not), but regardless of how the roots may be compromised, proper crown-thinning can significantly lower the risk of a tree falling over.
Storm Damage Cleanup
The term “monsoon” derives from the Arabic “mausim” meaning “season” or “wind shift.” It is, quite literally, a shift in wind direction that causes the meteorological event. During the winter, Arizona’s wind flow comes from California and Nevada. During the summer, wind directions shift. The wind then comes from the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, bringing plenty of moisture along with it: up to one-third of Arizona’s annual rainfall! It is this wind shift that puts into motion the roughly three months of not just rain, but also dust storms, violent thunderstorms, and even tornadoes in rare cases. Especially damaging are “downbursts.” These are strong “vortex rings,” characterized by a vertically rotating circle of air. At the base of a downburst are heavy outward bursts of wind near the earth’s surface. Depending on their size and duration, a downburst may be called a “macroburst” or a “microburst.” It is this wind of the monsoon storms that causes the most storm damage to trees in Arizona. When preceded by heavy rain, a tree may be even more vulnerable to heavy winds, because in soil that is overly saturated, even a tree with healthy roots has a weaker hold. In this case, the bulk of the root system will become exposed if the tree falls over.
Tree Planting

Tree Pruning and Trimming
Palm tree fronds start turning brown and can be an eyesore. What is a palm tree fround? A palm tree frond is another word for palm tree leaves. The fronds eventually start dying and will turn brown, orange or yellow. Are you worried that something is wrong with your palm tree or think it might be dying? Don’t worry, the fronds turning colors is very normal part of palm tree growth. Although, no one wants to see dead looking palm trees in their yard. That’s why Arbor Care offers professional palm tree trimming services to help remove the browned fronds once they have reached that stage of growth. Trimming will allow for your palm tree to grow healthy new growth fronds without the bad ones stealing all of the nutrients. Take a look at our palm tree services below.
Tree Fertilization
Tree Maintenance
"Arbor Care just trimmed 5 very large Palo Verde trees and a huge Willow tree today. They said they would arrive at 7:00 am, they did. They said they would thin the canopy of the trees so that they gained stability, they did. They said they would clean up when done, they did. They are the first tree care people in 15 years of living in the valley that I would use again. Thanks ArborCare for the great job!"
Tree Cabling and Bracing
Subordination of co-dominant leaders involves choosing one leader or the other to “take over” as the main trunk. Effective correction takes time, sometimes a number of years, because subordination utilizes the natural growth patterns of trees. Basically, the leader that has been chosen as dominant will be left mostly alone. The other leader will be subordinated using heavy thinning. Over time, this subordinated leader’s growth will be slowed, while the dominant leader will increase in diameter. The hoped-for end result is a healthy crotch where instead of a giant slingshot shape there is now a smaller branch growing from a larger trunk. If co-dominance with included bark is too severe to be corrected using subordination, other options include cabling, bracing, or removal of one of the major leaders (which would probably be drastic and leave ugly gaping holes in the look of the tree). Naturally, subordination would be preferable; thus the importance of catching problems before they are critical. If you aren’t sure, have a Certified Arborist look at the tree. This is their area of expertise and most will not charge anything for a consultation appointment.
Arborist Services
There is much more to properly trimming a tree than most people realize. The way a tree is trimmed depends on the end goal, which can vary depending on the species, structural problems that need to be corrected, or certain issues involving the environment the tree is growing in. Within the tree service industry there is specific language that dictates what is to be done to a tree so as to minimize confusion between client, salesperson, and the climber or arborist performing the job. Having at least a basic understanding of the terminology your Certified Arborist uses will decrease misunderstanding & help to achieve precisely what is desired or necessary. Following are examples of some of the most common types of pruning that trees typically need, as well as a couple warnings of what NOT to do to a tree.
Tree Mulching
Wood chips can be reused for firewood, gardening, or mulch. Sometimes the wood chips can even be processed into lumber.

Landscaping Services
Arizona is home to some of the largest cacti in the world. These cacti grow so quickly that they can easily overtake your commercial landscaping. This may seem ok but some cacti can actually outgrow their roots, becoming unstable and dangerous.
