“Arbor” is the Latin word for tree, and an arborist is a person who studied the art of planting, maintaining, and properly caring for trees. They are tree doctors who will keep your trees healthy and attractive, and their work will add value to your property. Nelson Tree Co. of North Huntingdon, PA, has the skilled arborists you need to keep all the trees on your property looking their very best.

These are some of the things a tree specialist does to keep your trees healthy:

• Select & Plant The Right Tree: Planting the wrong type of tree for the location and in the wrong place can result in stunted growth, disease, and insect infestations. Not all trees are appropriate for a specific location, so it’s best to check with an arborist to select the ones that will do well in your soil and sunlight conditions.
• Provide Proper Fertilization To Maintain Tree Health: Most trees need nutrient-rich soil, and great tree care starts with adequate watering and feeding. Tree specialists understand the nutritional needs of individual species and can keep your trees healthy at all times.
• Improve A Tree's Health: Trees need to be expertly trimmed to improve their appearance and increase healthy growth. Expert pruning increases safety as well, as it removes dangerous rotted limbs that could fall on structures or people on your property. 
• Remove Trees Safely: Arborists can easily determine when a seriously diseased, dangerous, or dying or dead tree must be removed. Removing a big tree is a dangerous task best left to tree specialists with the proper equipment.

If you have trees on your property, you need a specialist to give your trees long, healthy, and happy lives. To speak to an arborist who will do just that, call Nelson Tree Co. in North Huntingdon at (724) 863-7682 or visit their website to find out more.
