Welcome to my blog. My name is Sarah, and right now, I can see my favourite tree from my window. A few years ago, it was ailing, but I learned everything I could about tree health and nurtured her back to abundance. In this blog, I plan to write all about tree care, from the basics you can do on your own to knowing when to call a professional. My love of trees grew out of my love for gardening and landscaping, and I may write about those topics as well. I hope that you like my blog and that it inspires you. Thanks for reading!

It's hard to understand a tree's biomechanics if you are not a trained tree care expert or an arborist. An arborist or arboriculturist is a tree service professional with adequate knowledge in tree diseases, pruning, planting, cultivation, growth, surgery and other practical tree aspects. Arborists not only know how to take care of your trees, but they also know how to care for vines, shrubs and other perennial plants. Pruning is among the critical tree service practices these experts carry out.

You may not pay much attention to the trees in your garden on an everyday basis; however, if something changes in one of your trees, then you may worry that something is wrong. While some issues, like leaning trees, may be obvious, some problems are more hidden. Sometimes, a tree that looks otherwise healthy shows signs of ill health through its branches and foliage. Changes in these areas may indicate that you need to have the tree looked at.

If you've had a tree removed but still have the stump to deal with, then you may have decided to have the stump ground out. While some people leave stumps alone, sometimes you need to remove the stump to do some work on that area of your garden. Stump grinding is an effective way of removing an old tree stump. This process also kills any remaining roots left in the ground—with no stump, the roots are deprived of food and will eventually die away.
