Cambium Tree Care Services

When we say “tree care,” we mean exactly that. Your Cambium professional should be consulted at least once a year to ensure the safety and health of your large trees. We recommend routine inspection, proper pruning, mulching and fertilization, and when necessary, removal. Regardless of the size or description of your tree project, we’re prepared to begin working right now on the following:

  • Crown Thinning
  • Crown Lifting
  • Crown Reduction
  • Dead Wooding
  • Support Systems
  • Lightening Protection Systems
  • Stump Grinding
  • Fertilization
  • Transplanting
  • New Planting
  • Tree Removal

Crown Thinning. To achieve a healthy, structure, we carefully thin the tree crown. This specialized pruning allows more light to enter, promoting long term-health and growth.

Crown Lifting. We remove stray branches from the main trunk, enhancing visibility under the canopy, providing access for both pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

Crown Reduction. We reduce the size of the canopy making sure to leave a flowering line.

Dead Wooding. To maintain tree health, we remove broken, dead, or dying limbs from the tree crown. This helps the tree, and promotes the safety of people and property nearby.

Support Systems. Tree cabling and bracing helps prevent large tree limbs from untimely/dangerous falling. We install steel, wire, rope, or synthetic fiber between limbs to limit movement and help support weak joints. Support bracing is critical in schools, parks, college campus grounds and other high-traffic wooded areas.

Lightening Protection Systems. Cambium’s unique lightening protection systems are tailored to customer needs. While fail-safe protection doesn’t exist, our systems can help reduce tree damage, channeling electricity to the ground via series’ of rods and cables.

Stump Grinding. We are fully equipped to grind and remove multiple tree stumps.
We backfill with a mix of mulch and topsoil. Excess mulch is removed at the homeowner’s request.

Fertilization. At Cambium, we use pruning, mulching, soil aeration, and watering to keep trees healthy. When fertilization is required, we are conservative in our use of natural or chemical fertilizer.

Transplanting. Cambium specializes in relocating trees of almost any size over most distances.

New Planting. We’ll help select the trees that best suit your needs, and minimize shock and water loss during transportation. We also provide “after-care”: Mulching, watering and early pruning to help establish a healthy tree.

Tree Removal. Dying or potentially dangerous trees sometimes require removal. We have the equipment, personnel, training and knowhow to do the job safely and efficiently. Hazard tree removal is recommended for trees hit by lightening, topped trees, trees with fruiting bodies, root rot, visible cavities…and more. Call us for an assessment.

A tree which has lost its head will never recover it again, and will survive only as a monument of the ignorance and folly of its tormentor.”
-George William Curtis, 1654-1734

Tree Topping. Cambium does not condone or practice topping. All our work complies with ANSI-A300 standards. Tree topping is the indiscriminate cutting of tree branches to stubs or lateral branches that are not large enough to assume the terminal role. Topping removes 50% to 100% of the leaf-bearing crown, starves the tree, promotes shock, invites disease, destructive insects and possibly even tree death.
