Tree care
Our Tree Service Specialties
From pest and disease treatment to pruning and shaping, we offer a variety of services for your tree care needs. Find a few of our tree care services below:
Tree Pruning
Pruning a tree is not the same as merely cutting limbs. Educated and experienced certified arborists will only prune trees for a specific purpose. Some reasons you might need tree pruning services include dead or broken limbs, crossing/interfering limbs, branches that are encroaching on structures or wires, or canopy weight.
Deciding which limbs to prune is only half the battle. To prevent potential issues, it is also very important that each limb is pruned at the appropriate place, with the appropriate tool, using the right technique, and at the proper time of year. We have been offering tree services in Springfield for many years and our ISA-certified arborists know how to handle tree pruning with care and precision, preserving the health and well-being of your trees.
Tree Removal
At All About Trees we understand that trees are not just a part of the greater Springfield landscape but also an important asset to our environment. Our team of dedicated arborists is passionate about preserving the beauty and health of trees, which is why removal is never our first choice. However, we also recognize that certain situations may necessitate tree removal to ensure the safety of your home and loved ones or due to the tree’s declining health.
Our expertly trained ISA-certified arborists specialize in using the most up-to-date methods and equipment for rigging down trees in pieces. The process of tree rigging involves using a crane to lift the tree piece by piece, then setting it into an open area where it can be processed and cleaned up. Tree rigging is a very specialized skill, and our experienced professionals are trained in using the most up-to-date methods and equipment for tree rigging, preventing both property damage and personal injury.
Insect and Disease Control
Springfield’s varied climate can invite many pests and diseases that, if left unchecked, can cause serious damage to your trees. Our team of professionals understands the warning signs and knows how to identify and treat these issues before they spread. We use environmentally friendly methods to keep your trees and plants healthy while keeping the local ecosystem in balance.
Structural Support for Trees
Some trees have a structural flaw, such as a co-dominant lead or a split in the stem, that makes the tree more likely to fall during a storm or other destructive event. When a tree has a pre-existing weakness like this, there is no such thing as a true failsafe, but there are a few things we can do to add supplemental support.
Tree Bracing
Bracing a tree involves drilling a hole through the stem, right above a split or weak fork. A steel bolt is installed in the drilled hole, with washers and nuts on both sides. This serves as a support at the fork.
Tree Cabling
In some trees with the same type of weakness, we may go higher into the canopy (about 2/3 of the way up the tree) and install a rigid support cable in a process known as cabling. This process involves drilling through the trunks of the tree and installing steel hardware that helps hold the separate tree stems together. The “drill-through method” is much less invasive to the tree than wrapping the cable around the tree stems (which can eventually stunt them).
Lightning Protection
If a tree has a very high value or is a focal point of your landscape, our tree trimmers in Springfield can install lightning protection to prevent it from being blown apart by a lightning strike. First, copper points that are installed in the top of the tree, where they are connected to copper lead wire that is attached along the tree trunk. This is then run underground to a large copper grounding rod. If lightning strikes the tree, the electricity is carried down the copper wires instead of through the tree’s vascular system, preventing major damage.
Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
If you are dealing with an unsightly or inconvenient tree stump on your property, call our certified arborists for stump removal services. Tree stump removal can enhance the appearance of your landscape and eliminate potential hazards or obstructions. Whether it’s from a tree you recently had removed or an old stump that’s been around for years, our team uses specialized stump grinding equipment to ensure the job is done efficiently and safely.
Shrub care

Whether you’re looking for routine trimming, fertilization, or specific treatments to protect against pests and diseases, we tailor our services to meet the needs of each shrub species in your yard.
Plant Health Care Programs
The objective of Plant Health Care (PHC) is to maintain or improve the landscape’s appearance, vitality, and safety, using the most cost-effective and environmentally sensitive practices and treatments available. Plant health care involves routine monitoring, preventive treatment, and a strong working relationship between the arborist and the property owner.
Pruning and Trimming
Regular trimming helps maintain the shape of your shrubs while promoting healthy growth. By trimming away dead or overgrown branches, we allow more sunlight and air circulation to reach the plant, enhancing its overall health.
Fertilization
Like all plants, shrubs require the right nutrients to thrive. Our fertilization services provide essential minerals and nutrients to encourage strong root development and vibrant foliage. We tailor the fertilization process to meet the specific needs of each shrub species.
