Emergency Tree Services During Summer Storms

September 30, 2026July 30, 2021 by The Parke Company

We’re heading toward the end of July and summer storms are hitting us full force. One minute the sun is shining, the next minute hail and rain hits Nashville hard. With severe storm weather comes the possibility of damaging winds and flooding that can harm your trees, property and landscape. And of course, there are certain areas in Middle Tennessee that are much more susceptible to tree damage, so it’s important to be aware of your landscape and know who to call in case of an emergency.

What qualifies as a tree care emergency? Areas with high flood plains, old trees or wooded areas are all susceptible to major damage. Trees with multiple trunks or old trees can cause problems during a severe storm. In addition, trees that grow in an open landscape such as on a lot can succumb to damage during storms, especially with straight-line winds or lightning. If these situations cause damage to homes, property or block roadways, you should call the Parke Company. If you find yourself in need of emergency tree care services, contact an arborist at the emergency line at 615-201-9999 for immediate assistance.

What qualifies regular service? While certain areas are more susceptible than others, it’s important to have an arborist come out to check your trees regularly to avoid any unnecessary damage throughout the year. This will not only save you time in the long run, but prevent a lot of stress. Tree care is crucial to the longevity of your trees, but check-ups are not an emergency. Regular maintenance includes health analysis, tree removal and crown thinning. Need tree care or landscape services but it’s not an emergency? Contact Dan Beasley directly at 615-405-6548 to book an appointment.

We are right in the thick of summer, which means we shouldn’t rule out more severe storms. If it’s been awhile since you’ve had regular maintenance done on your trees and landscape, we recommend you call an arborist to avoid any unnecessary damage in the future. However, sometimes the Parke Company knows it can’t always be avoided — that’s where emergency tree care comes in. For more information regarding both emergency tree services or regular tree care, contact the Parke Company.

What Is Backflow Testing and How Can it Help?

September 30, 2026July 15, 2021 by The Parke Company

If you are gearing up to tackle landscaping projects, it can be easy to forget caring for your in-ground sprinklers. While irrigation systems do make regular landscaping simpler, it is always essential to have your irrigation system serviced to ensure that it operates at top efficiency.

The next time you have your landscaping serviced, be sure to add backflow testing to your list of services to keep your lawn and garden full and healthy. Here’s how it works.

What to Know About Backflow Testing

What Is Backflow Testing?

Visual inspections for damage, comparing utility bills month to month, and checking the quality of your plants are all ways to verify the efficiency of your sprinklers. However, one of the most holistic ways to ensure that your irrigation system operates at full capacity is through backflow testing services from your commercial landscaping company.

Backflow testing is the process by which an experienced landscaping professional evaluates your plumbing system and checks for pressures throughout the system. In your home and the various places in your yard, pressures are typically kept at a standard to allow for the uninhibited movement of water from one area to another.

While most systems operating appropriately should not experience blockages, a number of factors can cause damage and result in backflow. If there is a sudden freeze of the pipes, a burst pipe, or even just an unusually high demand on your system’s water supply, those pressures that are typically standard may change. This leads to backflow and results in contaminated water from the ground or storage making its way into your water system.

How Does Backflow Testing Help Your Landscape

Clean water out of the faucet is reason enough to hire backflow testing services, but it can also have a dramatic impact on the quality of your garden.

If your lawn or plants have been a bit lackluster, it may be worth checking to see if contaminated water could be the issue. Contaminated water for your plants may be trickier to identify since you aren’t consuming the water yourself, but dead or dying plants may be telling you that your water supply is the issue.

In addition to verifying water quality, it is always a good idea to check up on your irrigation system. If your water is not contaminated by backflow, a wilting lawn and garden could be due to underwatering or overwatering because of broken fixtures. Irrigation systems provide ease and hands-free, consistent watering. But it is critical to check your system regularly as a part of your regular landscaping maintenance practices. Regular maintenance helps to prevent water contamination, keeps your family safe, and your garden beautiful.

How Do I Know If I Need an Emergency Tree Service?

September 30, 2026July 15, 2021 by The Parke Company

For many property owners, trees are a desirable feature of their landscape. Whether it is a commercial or residential property, trees can provide shade and aesthetic beauty beyond comparison.

While desirable, trees can sometimes pose a threat to the health and safety of your property if they are old, unhealthy, or damaged by other elements. Aside from obvious incidents like a tree falling, it can be tempting to take care of your trees’ damage on your own in an effort to reduce costs.

In some cases, an experienced property owner may be able to trim or prune a tree successfully, but improper care of trees can lead to even more damage to your property.

Are you deciding between hiring services or taking care of tree issues for yourself? Check out today’s article to learn the answer to the frequently asked question: how do I know if I need emergency tree services?

When You Need Emergency Tree Services

Storm Damage

Elective tree removal is conducted for a number of reasons: it blocks your view, you want more space in your yard, you find the tree unattractive, etc. Emergency tree removal, however, is conducted for much more pressing reasons, the most common of which is storm damage.

For savvy property owners, tree maintenance like tree trimming is a routine landscaping maintenance task.

It is important to remove aging limbs and branches to reduce the likelihood of damage during a heavy storm. Even the most attentive property owner, however, cannot prepare for every storm. Inclement weather including rain, hail, or heavy winds can cause trees to fall over onto your property.

In cases like this, it is critical to hire emergency tree services for tree removal rather than attempting to remedy the situation yourself.

Do-it-yourself methods like towing a tree or cutting it with a saw for carpentry projects can result in serious damage or injury. Without knowledge of how to properly fell trees, you run the risk of a tree falling in an unexpected direction or falling before you were ready. Only professionals should handle the dangerous task of tree removal. Treating a professional project as an amateur job can be lethal.

Disease and Rot

Even if branches or limbs have not yet fallen onto your property, you may still be in an emergency situation.

Diseased and rotting trees are more than just unsightly; they are also dangerous. In the best case scenario, the disease or mold may spread to other areas on your property and cause damage to more plants in your landscape. In the worst case scenario, damaged trees may easily fall, whether it is during a storm or simply due to the weakness of the tree.

It is important to have your trees serviced regularly. Even if you don’t notice disease on your trees, an experienced arborist can quickly examine your tree and determine the best methods to maintain its health for years to come and avoid the disaster that accompanies diseased trees.

Even if your tree looks fine, emergency tree services could be the one thing between you and disaster.
