Professional Complementary Evaluation

Tree removal by cutting down a tree is very dangerous work. Only professional tree removal companies like ours, should be consulted. Our tree removal companies are nationwide and are local to your area. They know what specific needs trees in your area need to be removed. Using a local tree service is smart. When the time comes, don't risk doing it yourself or hiring a “handyman” for a   tree removal. When a tree is in diseased, infested, dying or has simply grown to a size that is encroaching on your home or other buildings, it may be time   to get it out of the way so it doesn't affect the rest of the trees, bushes, plants or property. Anyone can cut a tree down. To do it without an emergency room visit or damage to other property is the real skill. We have honed that skill over twenty years and thousands of trees. All our employees are professionals, extensively trained in the art and science of taking your tree down in the safest, most efficient way possible.

Plant Health Care broadens the focus from healthy trees and shrubs to all the plants on your property. Proper management of hydration, nutrition, bug and disease control can make your landscaping look better, longer. We balance our plans to address a variety of challenges. No cookie-cutter plans with Bluder's Tree Service.   

Our certified arborists will work with you from the planning stage through the planting and maintenance of your new tree. Engaging with an arborist early in the design will help with the selection of a tree or shrubbery that is suited for the new location both environmentally and aesthetically. Selecting a species of tree or bush uniquely suited to your location (dry, wet, hot, cold, shade, sun) will ensure that it will be there and will be healthy as long as possible.

Bluder's Tree Service also offers annual Mulching. There are a variety of benefits to putting down a 2-4” layer of mulch around your trees and shrubs every year. Mulch provides a protection layer that holds in moisture for your plant roots. That protective layer also helps moderate temperature fluctuations. This can be especially important in the spring and fall when we see temperature swings of 30 or 40 degrees during a day. Finally, mulch crowds out weeds and grasses that compete for water and nutrition with trees and bushes. By creating a blanket of coverage with mulch, we starve the weeds and grasses of sunlight which hinders, and in many cases, arrests their growth entirely. Mulch is an organic, natural and eco-friendly way to manage weeds while helping your trees and bushes stay healthy.

We've all seen it. Huge, established trees in a typical neighborhood that get damaged during a remodel, tear down or new construction. Part of the value of the property you are planning on building on is the trees. They are the consummate icon of longevity and stability. Tear the bark off a classic old elm or maple with a Bobcat and it won't be too long before that beautiful old tree will need to be replaced. Typically with a sapling. While old trees may look indestructible, they are very susceptible to the stresses of being disrupted. While injured bark is an obvious damage that can be seen, there are a number of other impacts that are less obvious, but can have a similar outcome. Damage to critical roots, soil compacted around roots, and new sun and wind exposures can all have a negative effect on the health of a historic tree. Without observing best practices for tree and shrub maintenance during construction, the negative effects may not be seen for several years. Don't lose your trees to construction site negligence. Have Bluder's Tree Service come out today to evaluate and put a construction plan in place so you can keep those trees and shrubs where they are now and generations to come.

Dutch Elm Disease is carried by the Elm Bark Beetle (Scolytus multistriatus). The beetle itself is destructive to the trees, but the Dutch Elm Disease fungus is the really deadly culprit. As the fungus infects the tree layer that carries water and nutrients to and from the rest of the tree, the tree's own defense mechanism becomes its downfall. In an effort to block the fungus from spreading, the tree “plugs” areas of this vascular network. Eventually, enough of the network is plugged that water and nutrients will not make it to the rest of the tree and they will start to die. A good example of an initial symptom of Dutch Elm Disease infection in an Elm tree is when the leaves on an upper branch in the canopy will start to yellow and the branch starts to whither in the summer, prime growth and green season. Several instances in a single tree or across multiple trees indicate advanced infection with immediate treatment and preventative measures needed. Bluder's Tree Service has the experience, tools and permits to combat Dutch Elm Disease in infected trees, and to prevent infection before it happens.

One of the most important aspects of our nation is our LAND. Our beautiful farms, open spaces, and natural resources help define our “quality of life”. However, we are losing many farms to ill-planned development and losing our rural culture fast. Increasingly there are just too many houses springing up along every country road. Bluder's Tree Service Team works with landowners to place conservation easements or deed restrictions on their land, thereby the landowners are protecting their land, benefiting financially, enhancing the community as a whole, and helping the environment. Conservation easements are a win-win for the landowner and the community.  

Removing a tree stump requires expert knowledge and specialist equipment. At Bluder's Tree Service, we offer a comprehensive service that delivers thorough stump removal after a tree has been felled on your property. We will start by reducing the stump by cutting it into smaller pieces, following by a grinding process using specialist equipment, until the stump is below the surface of the ground and can be covered.

Bluder's Tree Service offers direct injection of pesticides through the bark and into the trunk of ash trees is an environmentally sound and economical way of treating EAB.  With direct injection into the circulatory system of a tree, a much lower volume of chemical is needed because it all goes into the tree, leaving none on the ground or on the exterior tree bark for exposure to unintended receptors.  Trunk injection is the most efficient and works the fastest of EAB control methods, with the pesticide circulation throughout the tree within a few days. Trunk microinjections should be conducted during mid to late spring after trees have leafed out and throughout the summer.  A single injection treatment can protect ash trees for one or two years, depending on the type of insecticide used.  Also, lightly infested trees showing initial EAB symptoms can be treated and recover.
