Emergency Tree Removal – Understanding the Urgency and Process

Whether from disease or weather, some trees are too risky to keep around. Warning signs like leaning or exposed roots require prompt attention from certified arborists to prevent escalating costs and ensure safety.

A tree that’s too close to your home or other structures could fall and damage property, injure loved ones, or take away from curb appeal. Emergency tree removal services can address hazards, protect your home, and improve your landscape.

What Is Urgency?

Trees are vital parts of our yards and landscapes, but they can also pose a threat to your safety. When they start to show signs of weakness, it’s time to call the professionals. This is especially true for trees that are at risk of falling due to a sudden storm or unforeseen condition like a disease.

If a tree has lost many of its branches, it may be too dangerous to stand. The loss of branches leaves the tree vulnerable to a collapse and can put people, animals, cars, and buildings at risk.

Similarly, if a tree has a hollow trunk, it is a clear sign …

The Importance of Professional Tree Trimming for Tree Health

Aside from enhancing the aesthetics of your property, regular tree trimming and pruning can also increase its value. This is especially true if it is done by professionals who have the knowledge and experience needed to make the most of your trees’ potential.

When trees are pruned correctly, they can absorb sunlight better and produce more photosynthetic energy. This can result in a healthy, long-living tree with a vibrant canopy.

Prevention of Damage

Trees that are trimmed regularly can help prevent damage to property during storms or other natural disasters. This is because a lot of the dead branches that could fall from a tree are removed. This can prevent property damage as well as injuries to people.

Additionally, trees that are trimmed regularly can allow for extra sunlight to reach your property which can save on energy costs during the summer!

Regular trimming also removes diseased or dying branches that can spread infections throughout a tree. These dead or sick branches can be identified by discolored leaves, dry bark, or weak wood. By removing these branches, you can ensure that …

Balancing Development and Preservation in Orlando

A concrete jungle is a city full of buildings and roads. It is a place where there are many people and the streets are busy all the time. It is also a place where there are lots of different things to do.

Inspired by historic preservation movements in Savannah and Charleston, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ heroic efforts to save New York City’s Grand Central Station, Orlando created its first historic district. Its subsequent 20 years saw the creation of five additional districts.

Downtown

The term “Concrete Jungle” describes a modern city or urban area that is filled with large buildings. These cities are characterized by air pollution, lack of greenery and excessive vehicles. They also tend to have high crime rates and insensitivity towards nature.

The cities of the Concrete Jungle are often depicted in science fiction. Think of Blade Runner, with its dark streets and concrete skyline. This kind of city is home to global commerce, entertainment and research, but it also has many problems that we need to address.

The Downtown Orlando Development Board/Community Redevelopment Agency (DDB/CRA) is dedicated to improving downtown …

Preserving Historic Hardscapes

Historic landscapes often include hardscape elements like brick paths, cobblestone streets and granite curbstone. These are sometimes more difficult to source than modern materials, but with the right design they can be restored.

The first concrete panel of Orlando’s Round Building is in the process of being repurposed as a sundial, thanks to the dedication of the Schweizer Fellows and some funding. Website

The Round Building

SS The Round Building was built in the waning days of low Modernism, using lower-cost concrete to achieve a style of elegance that might have been possible in aluminum. Its circular shape and distinctive brise-soleil latticework make it a stylistic anomaly among the neighborhood’s early twentieth century apartments and houses.

Despite their lack of popularity in modern times, the rounded shape of buildings has many benefits. From an energy perspective, a circle encloses the largest area for a given amount of perimeter, which reduces the need for resources. Round structures are also safer from severe weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunamis as they move naturally around the structure rather than getting caught up on corners or “air-planing” off a roof.…
