and high winds Can Wreak Havoc
Monsoon season has arrived, and Arizona residents know it takes its toll on cultivated trees and yard installations. These storms can uproot Mesquites, split Palo Verdes down the middle, or snap off large branches, but regular trimming and maintenance can help protect your home.
“A large-crowned tree is a beautiful sight,” said Dennis Kirby, owner of All Pro Trees and Landscaping. “But people don’t understand that the wide canopy of a Palo Verde catches the wind like a full-blown sail.”
Many desert trees are easily uprooted or prone to broken branches. In the wild, Palo Verdes or Mesquite trees have branches hunched over to the ground for natural support. Their cultivated cousins, however, stand on reduced, spindly legs and need to be thinned out and trimmed regularly. That is where All Pro Trees and Landscaping enter the picture.
“Big trees are a great value and investment,” said Dennis. “It pays off to maintain them properly. You don’t want to lose such invaluable treasures in a storm. Weatherproof them now.”
Twenty Years of Experience and Excellence
Dennis has been in the tree and landscape industry since high school, and during his career has developed excellent retail management and customer relations skills.
He and his wife, Sue, who is co-owner and office manager at All Pro Trees and Landscaping, are from the Valley and share a passion for caring for trees.
“We started All Pro 20 years ago,” she said. “Our clients know they can count on us. We’re very knowledgeable and provide our customers with excellent communication.”
Ensure Tree Health While Maintaining a Beautiful Yard
One aspect of that communication is educating customers on how to best care for their trees’ health, while also ensuring the customer achieves the look they want for their landscaping.
“I always give clients all of the options for tree care,” Dennis said. “For example, if a homeowner asks me to reduce a tree considerably, I might recommend we do it in stages in order to minimize the shock to the tree and maintain its vitality.”
Working with an experienced professional allows customers the peace of mind that comes with knowing their trees will stay healthy while looking their best.
“When you cut off a branch, you must keep in mind the rest of the life of the tree,” said Dennis. “Many handymen or landscapers not specialized in trees might come knocking on your door these days but are not qualified. You wouldn’t let a lawn mower guy work on your BMW, would you?”
Deep Root Fertilize Trees Annually for Long-Term Health
All Pro Trees and Landscaping recommend deep root fertilizing your tree every year.
“Tree leaves are nature’s fertilizer in other states, but in Arizona we clean up all leaves on the ground,” said Sue. “The yards look beautiful but by doing that we haul away those nutrients.”
Fortunately, this fertilizing process can still be achieved with a deep root fertilizing machine which injects the fertilizer into the soil.
Wait Until Springtime for New Planting
Each season requires something different to care for your trees and landscaping. All Pro Trees and Landscaping recommend waiting until the spring for planting.
Until then, trimming can also prepare trees for healthy growth. For example, frost damage left in Ficus trees from years before can inhibit their vitality. In the survival mode to self-heal, the tree seeks to regenerate the damage, and only the removal of dead branches will promote healthy growth.
Whatever tree concerns homeowners might have, All Pro Trees and Landscaping can help. The company has several employees and is fully equipped with all the right tools for the job.
In addition to tree maintenance, they provide landscape maintenance – either on a regular schedule, as a one-time yard cleanup, or to prepare for a time when homeowners need enhanced curb appeal, such as for a party or to sell their home.
