Mature Tree Care

Think of tree care as an investment.  A healthy tree increases in value with age and pays big dividends by increasing property values, beautifying your surroundings, purifying the air, and saving energy by providing cooling shade from summer’s heat and protection from winter’s wind.

Regular preventative maintenance, designed to promote tree health and structual integrity, ensures a tree’s value will continue to grow and prevents the development of more costly problems in the future. 

Pruning is one form of maintenance.  It is often necessary to remove dead, diseased or insect-infested branches and to improve tree structure, enhance vitality, or reduce risk.

Removal is needed when a tree is dead, dying, considered irreparably hazardous, is causing an obstruction, or is crowding and causing harm to other trees.

We can care for your tree needs any time of the year

As the holidays approach, your landscaping needs are probably not on the forefront of your mind.  However, while you are on a ladder hanging your holiday decorations/lights, it is a perfect time to take a good look at the trees in your yard to see if they may need some trimming.  If any branches or tree limbs are getting close to your house give us a call for a bid!  We will be happy to come out and take a look and give you a free quote.

Winter weather can also do a number on your trees.  Heavy, wet snow can weigh down your branches and ice can put so much weight on your trees that limbs often snap off.  This can be very damaging to your home/property.  You can eliminate this concern by making sure your trees are trimmed.  The cost to repair your home from tree damage will be much more signifant than having Ken’s Tree Care do any necessary tree trimmings.

We not only service the Des Moines Metro area, we also service all of the surrounding communities.  We welcome any business in Bondurant, Pleasant Hill, Ankeny, etc.  Give us a call today!
