Tree Service Wilmette
Why You Should Consider Tree Service for Wilmette
Tree service for Wilmette homes can make the most of your beautiful property, as well as preserving the safety and functionality of your home. Wilmette is a beautiful community with a border on the shores of Lake Michigan. It is located on the west bank near the south extreme of the lake.
Wilmette has a population of around 28,000 people. It is an affluent community with an average household income of around $200,000. It is a wonderful place to live if you work in Chicago or need to visit there often since it is only about a 25-30 minute drive either along the water or down Highway 94 and 90.
This community is not far from the famous Chicago Botanic Garden and is bordered by lots of natural woods. This area is characterized by large, beautiful homes on large lots.
History of Wilmette
Wilmette came into being when two older villages, Gross Point and Wilmette, were merged in the early 1920s. The distinction between the two villages is still visible in Wilmette today. Along the east, homes were built in a forested area on the border of Lake Michigan. In the west, open fields were used by a German farming community.
The original Wilmette was incorporated in the 1870s. It was named after some of the early settlers to the area, Archange and Antoine Ouilmette. The spelling was changed to be more phonetic for English speakers. In the early 1980s, a railroad was built into the community, corresponding with a population boom in the 1940s, at which time the village’s borders were expanded.
Why You May Need Tree Service
Tree Service in Wilmette can Improve the Look of Your Home
If you live in Wilmette, it almost goes without saying that you take pride in your home and property. This affluent area is characterized by large, often historic homes on big lots. Like the homes, the trees tend to be older as well. The effect when you are strolling down the average neighborhood street in Wilmette is of being in a beautiful shady forest of mature trees.
If you want your home to look its best, caring for the trees on your property is essential. Low, shrubby branches and unmitigated growth can obscure your home, block out the sunlight and prevent lawns from growing well, generally creating a messy, unkempt appearance. A high-quality tree service company can keep your trees looking their best.
Trees bring many benefits to your property, but there can be some downsides as well. A fallen tree can do a lot of damage if it lands on your roof or vehicle. It can also be a liability if it falls onto a neighbor's property, as well as causing some significant ill will between you and your neighbors.
Therefore, maintaining the trees on your property isn't just a matter of home improvement, but also an essential part of keeping your home and property safe and being a responsible homeowner.
Prevent Damage from a Tree on Your Property
One of the great things about living in Wilmette is the sense of nature that surrounds this area. The entire community feels like one big forest. The many parks amplify this effect. Furthermore, this community is bordered by the North Branch Chicago River on the west side.
This river is surrounded by forested areas, including the Blue Star Memorial Woods and the Watersmeet Woods. Having so much natural forested area around is delightful, but unfortunately, it can also mean a prevalence of pests.
Hollow trees or branches may become home to possums or raccoons which can negatively impact your landscaping or get into your garbage. Any rotting wood may become infested with termites and other insects which can also find their way into your house.
Getting rid of deadwood and hollow places in trees is an important element of preventing pasts from living on your property.
What Can Tree Service in Wilmette Do For You?
Tree Care
You may not think about taking care of your trees in the same way as you think about maintaining flower beds or lawns, but trees need care too. A quality tree service company can fertilize, treat or prevent insect infestations, and provide other essential services to keep your trees at their healthiest.
Pruning
Whether you need some tree trimming for small trees to help them develop into beautiful specimen trees down the road or you need pruning for large trees to prevent branches from growing into places they shouldn't (like over your roof or into power lines), a quality tree service company can provide pruning and trimming services that maintain the health and beauty of your trees.
Stump Removal
A tree stump isn't just unsightly; it can also be a tripping hazard and dramatically increase the chances that wood-eating insects like termites will infect not only the trees on your property but also your home. It can take years for a tree stump to break down. The entire time it is rotting it will be attracting wood-eating insects, which is the last thing you want on your property. Stump removal is very important whenever a tree has been cut down or fallen of its own accord.
Removing Damaged Trees and Storm Damaged Trees
If a tree is damaged by a storm, insects, illness, or just old age, you need a qualified arborist to decide whether the tree needs to be removed or whether it can be saved. If it is determined that it is necessary to remove a tree, a high-quality tree removal service is important to extract the tree safely without causing damage to your home, lawn, or other plants on the property. You also need a company that will be able to come when you need them since having a damaged tree on your property is a serious liability.
Service for Small Trees and Big Trees
If all you have on your property are saplings, you may incorrectly assume that you don’t need tree service. In fact, shaping young trees is just as important as caring for old ones. The way a young tree is trimmed and pruned will affect how it grows for the rest of its life. Bad cuts at the beginning can set a tree up to be unattractive or even hurt its stability as it grows. It's a very good idea to choose quality tree service for any tree on your property, big or small.
Cabling
If a tree or branch on your property is growing in a way you'd rather it not grow or if there is a potential issue with the stability of a tree, you may assume that cutting the offending limb off or cutting down the entire tree is your only option. In fact, cabling is a wonderful alternative to removing the entire tree or limb. With cabling, a sturdy cable anchors the tree or limb and can change its position over time, enabling you to save the tree or limb while also making it grow in the way you would like it to.
