Frequently Asked Questions About Mishawaka Tree Care
We’ve put together answers to frequently asked questions we receive about our tree service in Mishawaka, IN.
Can you safely remove a large tree?
Yes, thanks to our specialized equipment and experience in the best and safest techniques, we can remove especially large trees without risking damage to nearby structures or any other hazards.
What happens to my property after tree removal?
After we cut down the tree, we can either remove the trunk and branches or turn it into wood chips for you. There will be a remaining stump and you can choose to leave the stump, get stump grinding, or get stump removal added onto your service.
If my tree is damaged, can tree cabling and bracing save it?
Tree cabling and bracing reduces the stress and strain placed on vulnerable parts of your tree, which can help the tree continue to live and grow on your property safely. However, it’s not always possible to save the tree and tree removal is sometimes necessary.
Are tree cabling and bracing one-time services?
No, you’ll need to keep up with inspections performed ideally annually in order to ensure your cables or braces are working properly while your tree keeps growing.
Why should I invest in stump removal?
There are multiple reasons you should think about getting a tree stump removed from your property. If you want your landscaping to be streamlined and manicured, stump removal will completely erase any sign of the stump. It also reduces the attractiveness of your property to pests and fungus. Landscaping work like lawn mowing will also be much easier to perform without needing to avoid the stump.
After tree planting, how often should I water it?
For the first year of its life post-planting, a good rule of thumb is to perform deep watering at least once or twice a week. Talk to our tree experts about a watering schedule to ensure your new tree gets adequate water during its growing season.
Is there a guarantee that a newly planted tree will survive?
With nature, there are no guarantees, but you can talk to us about potential warranties for tree replacement in the event of a tree failure.
Can my company schedule commercial snow plowing prior to an impending storm?
Yes, if a storm is coming you can contact our team to preemptively schedule your commercial snow plowing service.
Do you perform emergency tree service in Mishawaka, IN?
Yes, we’re available 24/7 for urgent service needs when it comes to trees on your Mishawaka property.
Will my insurance policy cover emergency tree service?
This depends on the emergency itself and the cause of the emergency. Especially if your tree has fallen and damaged your home or car, it’s likely that your homeowner’s or commercial insurance will cover removal, but that needs to be verified with your individual policy.
Does tree trimming improve sunlight penetration to the ground?
Yes, when we perform crown thinning or raising as part of the tree trimming services, it can help light better reach the ground and any gardens below.
Can pruning be damaging to a tree?
Tree pruning can only be damaging when it’s done wrong, as is the case with topping, which involves cutting down your tree’s main branches and turning them into stubs. Luckily, our team at Chapla Tree Service only uses the best trimming practices and avoids any tree topping.
Should I perform my own tree pruning or trimming?
You may be able to trim small easily-reached tree branches yourself, but in most instances, especially those involving trees located near structures like your home or power lines, or trees with large branches, the trees should be trimmed and pruned by professionals only for safety and for the health of the tree.
