Nashville is finally warming up, and we couldn’t be more excited to get rid of all this snow and ice. So what’s next on the agenda for your tree list? Well, if you’ve already taken care of spring preparation for your landscape and trees before things begin to bloom, it might be a good idea to take a look at your trees and branches for potential storm hazards.
With Nashville sunshine comes the possibility of spring showers, including severe storms with lightning, tornadoes and flooding. After a big storm, it’s not uncommon to see a large tree fallen in the middle of the road in Belle Meade, Franklin or other residential areas. This is why it’s important to make sure your trees are in tip-top shape for the season ahead.
Preparation for these storms is pretty simple. Call the Parke Company! They will come out to assess your trees for any necessary services such as crown thinning, preventative work and damage repairs. If some of your branches are dead or heavy, it might be necessary for our team to complete cabling or crown thinning to prevent any fallen branches during unexpected storms.
Lightning can be a major concern, especially with trees. Parke is available for measuring trees for grounding rods and wires. This is a great preventative measure that will avoid headaches throughout the spring and summer seasons. If storms damage branches or threaten your tree’s healthcare, Parke can also clean up branches, assist in emergency tree care situations and try to treat any of the damage.
Tree healthcare is an important part of maintaining a beautiful property. If you’re a homeowner or run a commercial property, Nashville storms are unavoidable. Be sure to have your trees evaluated to prevent any lightning, wind or tornado damage before it’s too late. For more information about the Parke Company’s services including emergency tree care, contact them today to schedule a consultation.
This season is a great time to give thanks. Even if it’s past Thanksgiving, it’s important to acknowledge and appreciate the blessings you have. And that’s exactly what the team at Parke wants to do this year. The team of arborists and landscapers are thankful for such a prosperous year filled with beautiful trees and great experiences.
It’s that time of year again when things start to slow down and we spend time with friends and family. Christmas cookies, menorahs, and ugly sweaters are all common sightings around this season. No matter what holiday you’re celebrating, the Parke Company would like to extend its warmest wishes to you. We hope you have a blessed season and a happy New Year!
It’s safe to assume that one of the best parts about Christmas is decorating the Christmas tree, right? Perhaps you’ve got a beautiful Norway Spruce, a Douglas Fir you decorate every year, or maybe you’re using an artificial tree from last year. Whatever kind of tree, it’s one of the most prominent symbols of the holiday, which is why the Parke Company offers living Christmas trees to their Middle Tennessee clients. Not only is this a great way to repurpose trees, but it’s also a great way to remember Christmas memories.
Though it came sooner than we expected, the cold temperatures have arrived in Middle Tennessee (and in full force). And even though you and your family can stay inside during the extreme drops in weather, your trees and landscape cannot. So what’s the best route in taking care of them? Dormancy is a tree’s defense mechanism during the cold, but any necessary work such as transplants or excavation can be done during this time with a little help from the Parke Company.
